Dear Partners in Ministry,
We Wards were without power until just before 11:00 last night, so I'm at home today doing laundry, throwing out a lot of spoiled food, and preparing for a big ol' insurance claim.
Also: Eight days 'til Triduum.
Let's do this.
Taizé Prayer This Friday
If you're planning on joining us for Taizé Prayer, please come to the church at 6:55 for a quick run-through of the music. We'll begin in the Narthex at 7:30 pm.
Reminder: Holy Week Rehearsal Set for April 4
To make sure all our i's and t's are dotted and crossed respectively, we'll meet for a "dress rehearsal" on Tuesday, April 4 from 7 pm- 9 pm. If you are taking part in any of the Triduum celebrations, please make every effort to be there if you can. Thank you in advance for being willing to go the extra mile!
