will be involved in the preparation for the consecration of
Bishop-elect Scott Benhase. Please join us as we will
present the state of the parish, discuss future plans, elect new
vestry members and wardens and share a bowl of soup. |

Bible Study to
Begin |
We
will begin to study the Gospel of mark on Saturday, February 20

study and the methods that we can employ to develop greater
knowledge of Holy Scripture. Like the first class, each
session will be ninety minutes in duration and be led by Fr. Don.
Please join us in the library in the
All Saint's room at 10:00 AM on February 20. All are
invited, but you should bring your appetite for the Word of God. |

Rector's Reflections |
 Commercials
are set to be aired as fifteen and thirty second spots. Each
carefully crafted to give you just enough information to generate
“need” and impetus to act. I find it amazing that in the hoopla of
the Super Bowl there would actually be a program aired on
television that is focused on product ads. No doubt Madison Avenue
has us trained! A correlating statistic I heard the other day is
that almost as many watch the ads on Super Bowl Sunday as they do
the game. In the same news spot, I also heard that the average
viewer of a football game only sees eleven minutes per half of
actual play because of timeouts for commercial breaks and replays.
While that might not totally be factual, and perhaps even a
generalization, it does point to how we have become in today’s
society.

Wednesdays during
Lent |
Please
make plans now to join us at 6:00 pm each Wednesday night during
Lent. We will begin in the chapel with our regular Healing
and Holy Eucharist, after which we will gather in the Parish Hall
for a simple meal of soup & bread and a lesson from Fr. Don.
Each night we will be discussing a topic relevant to our lives as
Christians in the church and the world. The program will be about
thirty minutes long depending on the group discussion.
Look for a sign-up sheet in the
narthex beginning the second week of February. |

Honey Creek Camp |
|
Curtis the Dude says...

"It's time to make plans to attend a
camp at Honey Creek this year!"
That's right. Now is the time
to plan for your children to attend summer camp at Honey Creek
this year. With a new and fresh approach, this year's camps
promise to provide an incredibly wonderful experience for those
attending. Camp at Honey Creek gives our children a sense of
being a part of the larger church. Camp Fee is $395 per
camper ($75 deposit required with application). Please see
Fr. Don for information on the camps and scholarships that are
available. You may also register at
www.honeycreek.org.
Curtis says..."Camping builds
Christian friendships that last a lifetime! Come to camp,
make a friend." |
