Lenten Study Begins

Monday, February 23

Starting Monday, February 23 and running until March 30 from 11:00 to12:30 we will meet in St. Mark’s Church Hall to study “To Love and Serve: Anglican Beliefs and Practices.” This is a book by Forward Movement Ministries and is adapted for the Anglican Church of Canada. The book is available wherever you purchase books either electronically or in hard copy.

This book has been recommended for study by our Diocesan Bishop William Cliff. It is an opportunity to take a journey through the basic beliefs of our faith through the lens of Anglican Christianity. We will walk through the liturgical year, the sacraments of the church, the habits of daily prayer and the teachings of the Anglican Church. We will see how our prayer shapes our belief and our lives and how our beliefs lead us into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.

If you are interested in purchasing a book from our Diocesan Synod office, please get your name and $15.00 to our own parish office before the end of January. At that time Warden Ted Davie will take all monies and make one purchase on behalf of parishioners.

For more information or to express interest in attending, feel free to contact Rev. Sandra in person or at sandrahounselldrover@gmail.com

Join us for a spirit led conversation of where God might be leading us.
