The Dragon St. George’s Parish Mission: To Love and Serve the Lord and our Neighbors as Ourselves

Issue 50, Volume 3 March 2014

Issue 50, Volume 2 Issue 50, Volume 2 LENT BEGINS ON MARCH 5

“I invite you in the name of the Church, to the observance of a holy Lent,

by self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self denial;

and by reading and meditating on God’s holy Word.”

You are invited and encouraged to take advantage of the many opportunities to observe a holy Lent.

Ash Wednesday

The Holy Eucharist and Imposition of Ashes will take place at 9:30 am and 7:00 pm on March 5. As usual, this is a joint service with St. Mark Lutheran Church. This year we use the Episcopal service and our preacher will be Pastor Brian.

Lenten Soup Supper Series - “Interfaith Exploration of Women in Ministry”

The role of women in Islam, Judaism, Christian Orthodoxy, the Catholic Church, and our own Episcopal tradition will be the topic of our annual Thursday evening Lenten Soup Supper programs this spring. The interfaith series will feature two area professors, two Episcopal clergywomen, a Roman Catholic nun, and an Orthodox laywoman. The schedule is:

March 13 - Sr. Jan Renz, ASC, Women’s Ministries in Roman Catholicism March 20 - Professor Nancy Berg, Washington University, Exercising Gift for Ministry in Judaism March 27 - Professor Gulten Ilhan, St. Louis Community College-Meramec, Women in Islam April 3- Didi Kafka, Women’s Roles and Ministry in Christian Orthodoxy April 10 - The Rev. Suzanne Wolfenbarger and the Rev. Deacon Jody Coleman, Women’s Ministries in

the Episcopal Church.

As in past years, a simple soup supper at 6:00 pm will precede the presentations at 7:00 pm, all in the parish hall. Please sign up to bring your favorite soup, breads, or relishes. A sign-up sheet will be posted in the parish hall. A freewill offering will support local outreach ministries. And child care will be provided!

Lenten Adult Forum explores “Aids to the Spiritual Life”

Many of us yearn for spiritual growth, but sometimes we don’t know what our own role in this process is or where we can turn for help. Responding to interest expressed in the RenewalWorks survey last spring, during the six Sunday mornings of Lent St. George’s Adult Forum will explore aids for a spiritual life in a series designed to support us as we strive to grow in faith and discipleship.
