CHANGES TO THE LITURGY DURING LENT
The season of Lent is a time of reflection and repentance. To signify this
mood from the joyous weeks of Epiphany, we make some changes in our
Sunday worship.
***The clergy & choir will process & recess in silence.
***The Gloria & the Doxology are omitted.
***The Kyrie is sung before the Collect of the Day
*** The responses before & after the gospel are spoken not sung.
These small alterations to our regular worship remind us
that Lent is a time of preparation for the great events of Holy Week.
THE FLOWERS ARE GIVEN TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN
LOVING MEMORY OF :
*******Donald McTaggart Burgess; given by his wife Audrey
REMINDER: PLEASE REMEMBER TO WEAR YOUR NAME TAG.
This is a great help for visitors, clergy & other parishioners.
Please join us for coffee hour in the Great Hall
immediately following the 10am service.
In the Narthex, we have FM Assistive Listening Devices. Please

Taizé Night Prayer
Friday March 13, 2015 - 7:30 p.m.
In the busyness of our work-a-day lives, we all need a place and a
space where we can be still and know the presence and the peace of
God. In a world that is filled with noise it is good to have a place

Come and Pray With Us in the stillness of a candlelit hour.
