Labyrinth and church open for prayer at 6pm - Supper served at 6:30pm
Program begins at 7 pm and ends at 8:30
Did you miss the popular series on the Eucharist this fall? Here’s your chance to get in on the lively ecumenical discussion – this time on salvation and sin. Each evening, we will have a short presentation on a topic around salvation and sin by one clergy member. The other two clergy will provide comparisons from a different denominational perspective. Then, the floor is open for discussion. Ever wondered about Predestination? Penance? Confession? Ever wondered about
what the Presbyterians and Roman Catholics think? Do the Episcopalians have anything definitive to say? Find out on Wednesdays this Lent!
