Announcements:
Halfway through the Great Fast
This Wednesday is Mid-Lent. How is your life changed since the start of the Great Fast? Are you spending more time in your spiritual realm praying? Are you focused on eliminating bad habits? Have you used this season to practice more discipline in your life? Seriously consider those questions. What are the Holy Spirit and your guardian angel telling you? Seek their wisdom and guidance. You’re invited to attend at least one of the weekly services that are in addition to your Sunday obligation. Come immerse yourself in our beautiful services. Change your life. Thank Jesus for the sacrifices he made for you. Glorify the Holy Trinity.
Website
The Parish website has been re-launched as www.saindy.com. Look for weekly updates. Check it out and give feedback on what you like, what needs changed and suggest additions. It’s your parish website. Take ownership and tell your friends to check it frequently.
Eastern Traditions
One of the items found in Easter Baskets that you take to church on Easter Sunday is pysanky – those colorful eggs. Pysanky may be a single color egg but more likely they are decorated with a variety of colors using simple shapes and messages or intricate designs with symbolic meanings. Plan to stay after next Sunday’s liturgy and create your own masterpiece. Even if you’ve not learned this unique art form, come and find out how you can make pysanky a beautiful addition for your Easter basket. Invite guests too.
Tell everyone that we have nut rolls and pascha bread for the Easter season. Check out the baked goods page on the website, www.saindy.com, or ask for a brochure while at St. Mary’s Hall.
Annunciation of the Theotokos
This solemn feast day is on March 25th. Stay tuned to next week’s bulletin (and the new website) for the liturgical schedule. Meanwhile read Luke 1:26-38.
