LENTEN SIMPLE SUPPERS
Please join us during any or all of the Wednesday of Lent: 3/13, 20, 27 and 4/3, 10, 17 for our Lenten Simple Suppers. Prayers and meditation begin at 7PM in the dining room of the rectory, followed by a meal of soup and salad…and fellowship. The suppers are a wonderful way to not only deepen one’s Lenten experience, but also to be able to reflect in a very comfortable and quiet setting with fellow parishioners. For more information, please call Chris Williams at 304-337-1252 or [email protected]. We look forward to seeing you then.
