Dear Friends,

SPRING FORWARD

Don’t forget to turn your clocks one hour ahead this weekend so that you can get to church on time.

PARISH CLEAN-UP DAY

On Saturday, March 15, at 9 a.m. we are meeting to clean up the church property. We have an assortment of large and small jobs. Please join us!

FOOD PANTRY

We are looking for volunteers to run the Food Pantry on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. until noon. There is a sign-up sheet in the back of the church. It would be very helpful to have a few volunteers who speak Spanish. We also need to restock our supply of canned meats such as chicken and Spam.

EVENTS IN MARCH

Clean-Up Day:  March 15 at 9 a.m.

Vestry and Staff Retreat:  March 29, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Parish Hall

CHOIR

This is a great time to join Choir as we prepare for Easter. Talk to Mark Leamy (9:30 service) or Rodolfo Almaraz (11 a.m. service).

St. Lazarus Penitential Prayer

On Fridays at 3 during Lent, Father Leslie will be at church for a service on Penitential prayer. This is a small informal service in Spanish.

TUESDAY BOOK CLUB

We meet at 12:30 on Tuesday afternoons in the Parish Hall. We are discussing Wild Bright Hope. “This hugely heartening book on hope …  urges us not only to embrace a more hopeful perspective, but also to consider how we ourselves might play a full part in bringing in the kingdom of God.”

Amen.
