A HOLY SEASON
Ash Wednesday Services
This Wednesday, February 22, we begin the forty-day journey of Lent. Ashes will be imposed at 7:30, noon and 5:30 p.m. services.
What are you taking on your Lenten journey? All ages can follow and learn about the saints in Lent Madness: Who Will Win the Golden Halo? Perhaps personal devotional study is more your style. The sisters and friends of The Episcopal Community have put together a Lent Devotional and Meditation booklet. You can print it out, or download it to your smart phone or tablet to keep with you. And, don't forget to invite others: Bring them to Gumbo, or just bring them gumbo and invite them to St. James!
IT'S NEARLY GUMBO TIME!
Print One, Post One Challenge
 Our Lenten Friday lunches begin next Friday!. Co-chairs Trudy Ivy and Jennie Price ask that you print one copy of the Gumbo menu flyer and POST IT at your office, at school, at the club house -- where ever you can (with permission!) share the invitation to Gumbo. Click here for a letter-size PDF version, or here for a JPG version you can copy-and-paste into an email to share that way.
STUDY BENEDICTINE SPIRITUALITY
Sunday Evening Series during Lent
On four Sundays in Lent — March 4, 11,18, and 25 — the Center for Spiritual Formation will offer a discussion of Benedictine spirituality. The group will read Heart Whispers: Benedictine Wisdom for Today by Elizabeth J. Canham. By exploring such topics as prayer, hospitality, manual labor, rest, and stability, Canham guides readers to cope with the stresses and complexities of their personal and professional lives by establishing a daily rhythm based on Benedictine practices. The group will meet in the parlor on Sunday afternoons at 5:45 p.m., following the 5:00 service. Ann Holmes will facilitate the discussion.
