Journey to the Diaconate

by Melissa Carter

Lent

The journey through Lent into Easter is a journey with Jesus. We are baptized into his life, self-giving, and death; then, we rise in hope to life transformed. This Lent, we are invited to walk with Jesus in his Way of Love and into the experience of transformed life. Together, we will reflect anew on the loving actions of God as recounted in the Easter Vigil readings. Together, we will walk through the depths of salvation history into the fullness of redemption. https://www.episcopalchurch.org/lent-resources/

Carpenter’s Shelter News

The next volunteer orientation will be Tuesday, March 18th at 6 pm. This is a virtual session, and I will share the link as soon as I get it.

If you have not yet signed up for a background check, don’t rush to do so! The Parish Point of Contact (POC) needs to have one, and I have completed that. When my internship ends in June, we’ll need a different Parish POC, and at that time whoever steps up to fill that role will complete the background check. As we travel down this road, consider your role and if you’d like to shepherd this effort forward in the summer.
