A Note from the Vicar
Hello, everyone. February is here and that means the Lenten season is soon to follow. This year, Ash Wednesday occurs on February 17th and St. James will have the Proper Liturgy for the day beginning at 6:30 p.m. Folks can participate in-person or by Zoom. For those participating by Zoom, we will have to use virtual ashes this year, even though the spirit of the day remains the same. Then beginning on Wednesday, February 24th, at 6:30 p.m., we will hold a Lenten book discussion using Zoom. The book we will study this year is A Way Other Than Our Own: Devotions For Lent, by Walter Brueggemann. Professor Brueggeman is a world-renowned authority on the Old Testament and a retired professor from Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, GA. He has written more than 58 books, hundreds of articles, and several commentaries on books of the Bible. In other words, he is a smart guy, but easy to read and we will learn much from him this Lenten season. We will meet each Wednesday evening through March 24th. Please make arrangements to purchase your own book. If you have trouble doing so, please let me know. Faithfully, Fr. John Weekly Prayer List Please contact Fr. John to add someone in need of prayer to our weekly prayer list. He can be reached at jrunkle9@verizon.net or 919-260-2157. 19 |
