Next Week

What a fun time we had meeting at St. Thomas' Monday evening! Yes, we'll get some stuff on the walls. 

We mentioned that next Wednesday in Ash Wednesday, but didn't mention the fact that we have Mardi Gras break Monday and Tuesday next week. Therefore, Canterbury will not meet Monday evening. 

If you are in Monroe Tuesday, both St. Thomas' and St. Alban's will have Shrove Tuesday Pancake Suppers. A feature of the evening at both churches will be burning palms to make ashes for Ash Wednesday. That's at 6 p.m. at either or--if you're really hungry--BOTH churches!

The booklet above is a Lenten workbook offered by the Brothers of St. John the Evangelist, a really cool group of monks who publish a wonderful daily meditation online and always have something great going on during the special seasons of the church year. I have ordered a copy for each of us! They are supposed to arrive Feb. 9, so if I see you at an Ash Wednesday service, I'll have it for you.

 Have a safe and fun Mardi Gras break!

Meeting Monday!

Canterbury@ULM

Monday, Feb. 1

6:30 p.m.

St. Thomas' Episcopal

3706 Bon Aire Dr.

At our meeting Friday, we decided to try something different. Since we can no longer meet at lunch time any day of the week, we decided to try Monday evening at 6:30. And since most of us will be coming back for this meeting, we decided to try meeting at St. Thomas' Church. 

In fact, St. Thomas' has a room set aside for Canterbury. I announced it today in church and they are delighted. 

I will bring pizza for dinner! See you there.

 

Meeting Friday

Dear Canterbury Participants:

I struck out in my attempt to find a new meeting time via text messaging. I had hoped we could move to Wednesday or Thursday at 11, but both of those leave out at least one person.

So, I decided those of us who can need to go ahead and meet:

Friday the 29th at 11 a.m.

Walker 1-113 

Our two main agenda items: 

1. When shall we meet this semester? If we cannot find a time that works for everyone, what works best for the most people? Mary & Blake, I trust Blake can convey some information on Mary's behalf. Our alternative to an 11 a.m. meeting one of those three days (Wed., Thurs., Fri.) is a late afternoon or early evening, so please check your schedules and be prepared to discuss that.

2. The Bishop's College Conference scheduled in April.

We'll also do Noonday Prayer, of course.
