Lenten Program

Shrove Tuesday Pancake dinner

Saint Mary's Youth will sponsor the Shrove (Fat) Tuesday supper for the parish family this Tuesday, March 8. Pancakes, sausage, grits, and coffee, etc., will be served from 6:00-7:30 PM. Everyone is encouraged to attend. The charge will be $4 and $2 for children, though donations over that amount are always accepted and appreciated. All proceeds from the supper will go towards the Youth Mission Trip and Pilgrimage to Washington, DC in early June of this year. If you have questions, please call Kathy Gettys at 429-2365 or contact her at kgettys@sc.rr.com. Please use the sign-up sheet on the youth bulletin board if you plan to attend.

Labyrinth

Next Sunday, March 13, at 3:30 PM, the Youth will gather for a Lenten devotion utilizing the labyrinth installed in the Parish Hall. Fr. Fred and Ernie Pollock will help us make Anglican rosaries. We will learn about the Stations of the Cross and walk the labyrinth. All will be followed by dinner. Please join us for what is becoming an annual time together to explore the Lenten season.

30 Hour Famine

Friday, March 25 the youth of St. Mary's will meet at 6:00 PM, at the church, for Stations of the Cross. Following, we will go to the parish hall and begin the 30-Hour Famine, which will involve games, activities, and an overnight lock in. We are encouraging our young people and adults to fast during the time we are together (it is optional!), in solidarity with the people of Haiti and people around the world who do not have enough to eat. We will end with a Eucharist on Saturday at 5:00 PM, followed by dinner. If you cannot come for the entire time, come for part of it. Contact Fr. George for more information.
