Lenten StudyMonday, March 9 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. 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. 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.

Tree of Hope Lenten Appeal
Throughout the season of Lent, we are invited to embrace the call to a holy Lent through prayer, self-examination, and almsgiving. This year, we are pleased to partner with the Tree of Hope campaign in support of Family and Children’s Services of Frontenac, Lennox and Addington (FACSFLA). Your generosity will have a direct and meaningful impact. You are invited to participate in this Lenten appeal by making a donation using the special envelopes provided. Cheques may be made payable to Family and Children’s Services with “Tree of Hope” noted on the memo line. Tax receipts will be issued by FACSFLA for all donations over $20. Please ensure your address is clearly written on the envelope. If you prefer, you may also give directly through FACSFLA’s secure online portal - here As part of our Lenten journey, we invite everyone to “take up your Cross” from the Tree of Life and Awesome Mystery, allowing it to serve as a prayerful symbol of your commitment. May it guide your discernment and generosity as we grow together in faith, compassion, and service this holy season. Thank you for helping to plant seeds of hope that will flourish throughout the year.
