Events Calendar
- The Great Fast begins Monday February 11, nine days earlier than last year. Next Sunday is the last day before Lent. Our tradition is having everyone bring in a meatless dish to share with others. During the Great Fast we make a resolution to refrain from certain foods like meat and dairy. Today some people will be saying goodbye to meat on Meat Fare Sunday. On Cheesefare Sunday, February 10, we are saying goodbye to dairy. Typically people make something to use up their milk, yogurt, sour cream, cheese, etc. Bring one of your favorite meatless soups, salads, appetizers, casseroles, or desserts next Sunday.
- The first healing service during the Great Fast is Wednesday February 13. On the same evening we will be commemorating the half year anniversary of +Fr. Sid Sidor passing. At the end of the healing service, which was initiated by +Fr. Sid, we will remember him with the Panachida service. Refreshments will follow in St. Mary’s Hall.
Prayer
Why hasn’t God granted my petitions? Be assured that God hears our every prayer. His answer may be ‘Yes’, ‘No’ or ‘Later’. Sometimes we need to humble ourselves, look within, and repent. Go to your bible and read about the hindrances to God giving you what you want: John 9:31; James 4:2-3; James 1:6-7; 1 John 3:21- 22, Mark 11:24-25; Malachi 3:10; Matthew 17: 14-21. Then make amends where necessary.
Great Lenten Fast Book
This week we received booklets for each parishioner. “A Prayer Journey through the Great Lenten Fast and Great and Holy Week” is available in the hall. Please use your copy each day during the Great Fast for your private prayer. The booklets are one of the many things that Bishop John’s Annual Stewardship Appeal pays for. As you saw in the recent Horizons our parish has collected $625 of our $1,400 goal. Please consider how much you’re pledging and submit the cards mailed to you. If you need the paperwork call the rectory.
