Do you need to have your prayer horizons expanded? Do you have questions about prayer? Join the Episcopal Church Women for a “Prayer and Potatoes” Lenten retreat on Saturday, March 16.

The event is free, with good will donations accepted. Same-day registration is available, but to ensure we have enough food for lunch we would prefer advance registration – you can sign up on the sheet outside the office, call the church at 651-388-0411, or by email to Dawne at office@christchurchrw.org.

As MPR’s Euan Kerr has said, “Dean plays everything.”

“I view the so-called different styles of music as one big family of sound, those little bins in the record store, the categories, they don’t do justice to the similarities between so-called different styles. … I don’t see them as separate, at war, superior, inferior, but as part of a continuum of us humans putting vibrations into the air, sharing that kind of healing energy, joy, safe and healthy expression of every emotion available.”

Join the Episcopal Church Women on February 3 for a soup supper and an evening of playing Bunco!

Don't know what Bunco is? Don't know how to play? Come and find out how to play this game that's easy to learn and fun for all ages. Let someone else cook and have a great time with us!

During the meeting we will elect officers and other Vestry members to new terms, receive the budget and other reports, and conduct other necessary business. 

This month's Third Friday Fun Night features a free chili dinner and a team trivia night!

If you don't come with a team - don't worry, we'll find one for you!

Special Music and mini-concert

Chris Koza. Chris Koza is a composer and performer based in Denver, Colorado and Minneapolis, Minnesota. In his writing, Chris both honors and builds on the vast genre of Americana music. For every song that sounds like it could be strummed from a boxcar clacking slowly across a grassy midwestern plain, there's a tune sailing from a city rooftop, echoing across a valley of streets and traffic, or a melody twisting and shimmering like a dim frequency deep into the starry night. 

The Bishop will visit for confirmations and encouragement. Reception to follow in the fellowship hall.

THERE WILL BE ONLY ONE SERVICE THIS SUNDAY

Tuesday, August 15 | 6 p.m. at Saint Mark’s

What’s a Recovery Eucharist?

The 12 steps are a spiritual discipline. Many of the millions of people in recovery can offer powerful witness to God’s unfailing love. Joining together the 12 steps with a service of Communion, we will together celebrate those in recovery—whether you’re in hour one or year 50. 

Please find a flyer here that can be shared widely!
