Come join us for a mid-week jump start!

On Thursday evenings at 6:30pm, in the main church at 1301 South Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21230, we will have either Mass or sung Evening Prayer a.k.a. Evensong (a very beautiful and particularly Anglican evening service). After Mass/Evensong we share dinner and adult education.  For further information please call the church office at 410-539-7804.

Thursdays in Lent, February 18 - March 25, at 6:30pm, we will have quiet contemplative services of Stations of the Cross and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, followed by Christian formation and a light supper of homemade soups and bread.  Please join us as we walk the way of the cross with Our Lord and take a few moments to consider his real presence among us.

We continue Christian formation on Thursday evenings with the following schedule of topics:

February 18:  Reading One of the Daily Offices - Mr. Michael Westman will lead a study of the four daily offices, selecting one for participants to use during Lent to enhance their spiritual growth.

February 25:  Praying the Rosary - Fr. Keene will teach participants how to pray the Rosary. Participants will be encouraged to share their feelings about the Rosary. (Rosaries will be provided for use at this session.) 

March 4:    Making a Confession - Fr. Keene will teach participants the why, when, and how to making individual confessions.

March 11:  Reviewing the Catechism - Fr. Keene and Dn. Wilkerson will lead a review of the Catechism of the Episcopal Church.  Participants will be encouraged to ask questions about our Episcopal faith tradition.

March 18:  Engaging in Close Readings of the Sacred Texts - Fr. Keene and Dn. Wilkerson will present some techniques that will help our understanding of biblical passages. Participants will be able to apply these methods using selective readings from the Bible.

March 25:  Praying Alone: Making use of representative models - Dn. Wilkerson will present some models that will be helpful in keeping a focus for individual prayers. Participants will be encouraged to share their forms of prayers with the group.

Note:  Each weekly session will take no more than 45 minutes. All are invited to join us for these forums as a way of keeping a Holy Lent through spiritual disciplines. A light supper of homemade soups and bread will follow each session.

This is a great opportunity to gather mid-week with a community of fellow Christians for worship, fun and fellowship.

See you Thursday!
