Happy Easter!

The Sun Always Rises

      
                    

Tonight at the Great Vigil of Easter, we will kindle new fire on the porch in front of St. Alban's and carry it into the church chanting, "The light of Christ," "Thanks be to God."

Garrett Boyte and Christelle Nouobda will be confirmed, along with several others from St. Thomas' and St. Alban's.

Service begins at 7:30 p.m., but confirmands need to be there a bit early.

This Week

This week we continue our Canterbury@ULM study with a look at the Book of Common Prayer. If you have one, bring it to our meeting:

Tuesday

5 - 6 p.m.

Student Center 163

No, it will not look anything like the illustration to the right! That's the cover of the very first Book of Common Prayer, produced by Thomas Cranmer in England in 1649.

One of the interesting things about the BCP is that its use has spread well beyond the church that developed it. Come to hear more about that and discuss. Is it simply a handy aid to worship? Does it have a larger significance? Might it scare away people from the Episcopal Church because they don't know how to "juggle books in the pew"? What ARE all these books in the pews?
