Lenten Wednesday Study
Sacred Space and Place: A Lenten Journey
Wednesday: March 1, 8, 15, 22, 29
6:30pm Soup
7:00pm Study
In these five weeks, we will explore the witness of the bible and of our tradition to consider how we gather and worship as the people of God. What makes a place or a space holy? Where can we expect to find God? How should we think about our church buildings and grounds?
The Rev. Rita Powell is the Episcopal Chaplain at Harvard. As a liturgist and church innovator, she has worked with architects and students to design, build, and explore a minimalist outdoor chapel, the Sacred Tent. This project has deepened her understanding of the sacredness of place.

Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
Jesus asked His disciples to stay alert in prayer with Him for one last night. There is a sign-up sheet in the Parish Hall on the bulletin board or contact the office to sign up. The Watch will take place in the chapel of St. Andrew's.

What is Code Blue?
When temperatures drop below freezing, and conditions pose a threat to individuals who are homeless, a network of agencies throughout New Jersey help people obtain shelter.

WELCOMING YOU HOME
The word religion can mean something different for each person. As Episcopalians, we are followers of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and believe in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We strive to love our neighbors as ourselves and respect the dignity of every person in keeping with our Baptismal Covenant.
