 ANNOUNCEMENTS:

·         Coffee Hour: Coffee Hour will be in the big hall today because the basement had some flooding problems this week.

·         Lenten Service: This Tuesday evening, March 8, we will have The Great Canon of St. Andrew of Crete at 7pm.

·         Monthly Lecture: Our next lecture will be today, Sunday, March 6 over "Prayers of the Departed." We will discuss questions such as "Do our prayers help the dead get into heaven?" and "Aren't we responsible for getting our own selves into heaven?"

·         Vespers: There will be no Vespers this Saturday, March 12. It will resume the following Saturday, March 19.

·         Great Lent: Tomorrow is the first day of Great Lent. This is a great time in the year for each of us to grow spiritually and to really "set aside all earthy cares" and deepen are relationship with God and possibly do things that we wouldn't normally do. Try having morning and evening prayers each day; starting and ending your day in prayer to God will not only help us through the fast, but maybe become a habit. We should all look forward to this wonderful and most festive time of the year!

·         Membership Committee Chair: The church is looking to fill the position of a Membership Committee Chair. The Membership Committee Chair welcomes new members, follows up with visitors who might be interested in joining the church and works with the board to promote new membership. The Chair also follows up with current members who have not been in church for a period of time and stays in touch with parishioners who might be ill or infirm.  The Chair should select two to three parishioners to be on this committee. If anyone is interested, please see a board member.
