The Connectors Club

Cookie Baking Update

Holy Cross welcomed four special needs adults and their caregivers to the HC kitchen on Friday, March 7.

 

With aprons on and spoons in hand, we set about making several dozen oatmeal raisin cookies. We had a lot of messy fun and enjoyed getting to know one another. We look forward to more times together as we deepen our relationship with Kriselyn, Mary Catherine, Amanda, Kyle and others yet to come.

 

The group also came up with a team name – the Connectors Club. Thank you for your support of this new ministry!

Sunday Morning Christian Formation Study During Lent

A series of spiritual/reflection sessions aligned with early church practices for Christian initiation and reclaimed by many Western churches for use in Christian renewal.

 

The sessions are designed to help parishioners delve more deeply into the spirit of conversion during the season of Lent. (NB: the sessions will not use the assigned Sunday readings.)

The sessions will be held during the 9:30 am Adult Education time slot on the following Sundays:

 

Session 1: March 9 (First Sunday of Lent) - “Knowing oneself”

Session 2: March 16 (Second Sunday of Lent) - “Forgiveness”

Session 3: March 23 (Third Sunday of Lent) - “Living Water"

Session 4: March 30 (Fourth Sunday of Lent) - “Light of the World”

Session 5: April 6 (Fifth Sunday of Lent) - “New Life”

Session 6: April 13 (Palm Sunday) - “Explanation of Passion Week, and re-affirmation of Baptismal Vows”

 

Class leadership is shared by Rev. Anne and Michael Cobb.

Monk Thay, Tung Lam Buddhist Temple

Transforming our lives, and maybe even the lives of others during Lent, is to be open and engaged in deep soul-searching, listening and then to choosing right action.
