Evensong for the Feast of St. Timothy
Sunday, January 26, 2020 at 5 p.m.
The Office of Evensong is sung at the close of each day in cathedrals, collegiate chapels, monastic communities, and parish churches throughout the Anglican Communion. Derived from the ancient offices of Vespers and Compline, it is a service of rare beauty offered through the singing of psalms and canticles, the reading of scripture, and prayer. This liturgy of sung prayer has been offered daily throughout the Christian era and it enables us to join with all those who have gone before, those today who offer their evening prayers, and those who will continue their sung praise, petitions, and thanksgivings in times to come.
The worshipper offers praise through association with the Choir and sits awash in sung prayer as it resonates throughout the sacred space. Natural time is suspended as word and music combine to capture the holy rhythms of the spheres and the worshipper is transported beyond chronological time to a place where creation and eternity coalesce into one.

Women's Book Club
Tuesday, February 18, 2020 at 6 p.m.
Ladies, mark your calendars! The women of the parish are invited to a discussion of the book Braving the Wilderness by Brené Brown.
Brown, a social scientist, “redefines what it means to truly belong in an age of increased polarization. She argues that we're experiencing a spiritual crisis of disconnection, and introduces four practices of true belonging that challenge everything we believe about ourselves and each other.” (from SLCL.org summary)
You may obtain copies from anywhere books are sold, or find it in the St. Louis County Library system. Please come having read the book (or at least some of it).
Brené Brown is a professor of social work at the University of Houston and a savant in the areas of vulnerability, shame, courage, and empathy. Her TED talk, “The Power of Vulnerability,” is one of the top five most viewed TED talks in the world. You can see her filmed talk, The Call to Courage, on Netflix.
Light hors d’oeuvres will be served. We look forward to seeing you there!
There will be a sign up sheet on the bulletin board in the coming weeks. Contact: The Reverend Camie Dewey

Ash Wednesday Services
February 26, 2020
7 a.m. Imposition of Ashes
12 p.m. Holy Eucharist with Ashes
7 p.m. Holy Eucharist with Ashes
Throughout the Day - Ashes to Go
Ash Wednesday The first Christians observed with great devotion the days of our Lord's passion and resurrection, and it became the custom of the Church to prepare for them by a season of penitence and fasting. This season of Lent provided a time in which converts to the faith were prepared for Holy Baptism. It was also a time when those who, because of their notorious sins, had been separated from the body of the faithful were reconciled by penitence and forgiveness and restored to the fellowship of the Church. Thereby, the whole congregation was put in mind of the message of pardon and absolution set forth in the Gospel of our Savior and of the need which all Christians continually have to renew their repentance and faith.
Ashes to Go Ashes are an ancient sign of penitence. From the Middle Ages it became the custom to begin Lent by being marked in ash with the sign of the cross. The reminder that we are dust turns our attention to the creative power of God, and God's ability to heal the brokenness in our lives when we offer that brokenness to God. That turning to God is the work of Lent, preparation for the celebration of Easter. We're offering ashes to go because that reminder of need, humility, and healing shouldn't be confined to a church building. We probably need it more when we are in the middle of our daily business. The ashes we receive here are to remind us throughout the day of our need for God , and of God's call to us.
