Dear Church of the Apostles,

On Ash Wednesday we are called to “observe a holy Lent, by self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self-denial; and by reading and meditating on God’s holy Word.” (BCP, p 265)

In these next three weeks, as we continue to journey towards the cross and to Resurrection Sunday with fasting, prayer and giving, we invite you to join us in these special activities: 

  • Donate items to the Blessing Bags service project our Apostles’ Kids will participate in this Sunday, March 31 (the list is here).

  • Take one or two Blessing Bags with you to give out to those in need in your local area.

  • Plan to stay after church this Sunday to pray with us for the end of human trafficking in our community. And join us to pray again on Friday, April 12 at Patti Hiller’s home, 10:00-11:30a.

  • Walk and pray with us at the University of Bridgeport on Saturday, April 6 11:00a - 12:00p.

  • Sign up to join us for the Friendship Dinner at UB, Friday April 12 at 7:00p. Fran Snow will have all the details for us this Sunday.

  • Holy Week Services (details here) - Palm Sunday, April 14 through Easter Day, April 21.

May the Lord continue to deepen our faith as we draw close to Him.

Blessings.
Jan+
