Lenten Soup Suppers
Please note the change in the starting time. By starting earlier, we hope to be finished before it is too dark. We are doing the suppers a little differently this year. Beginning on Wednesday, March 12th at 5:30 pm (and each Wednesday during Lent) we will gather at a Ellie S's home to share fellowship, a brief prayer session, and a simple (soup and salad) meal. There is a sign-up sheet for the food in the coffee area. We are using the 2025 Lenten Meditation program published by Episcopal Relief and Development. The program offer daily meditations. This year’s Lenten series is titled “A Commonplace Lent.” Although Lent can sometimes be seen as a solitary spiritual journey, this program challenges us to walk this road with others and highlights the divine gifts that come from community. If you’re interested in learning more, you can access the program at episcopalrelief.org
Eucharist Home Visits
Eucharist Home Visits are available to anyone in the congregation unable to attend our Sunday services. To schedule a home communion with Rev. Ronda or one of our licensed Eucharistic lay ministers, call the church office or talk with Rev. Ronda or Ellie Stryker.
Parish Directory
Our Pastoral Ministry Lay Leader, Sue Kraetke, is working on compiling information (address, phone number, email address, birthday/anniversary ) for a new parishioner’s directory and phone notification list. As we approach winter, it is important to have correct information in the event we have weather-related service cancellations.
Vestry News
Because the Holy Week schedule is so busy, we will not have a vestry meeting in April. Our next meeting will follow the service on Sunday, May 18th. I hope by now you have all read Rev. Ronda’s letter informing us of her retirement. We have been so blessed as a congregation to have had her leadership and guidance for the past three years and we will miss her. I want to reassure everyone that the vestry will be working closely with the Diocese to find our next spiritual leader. We will keep you informed as the process progresses. Please keep our congregation family in your prayers as we move forward. Thank you.
Men's Group
The Men's Group meets the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 pm at Thee Office Pub & Cookery in downtown Romeo. The next meeting will be April 8. All men are welcome.
Sisters Book Club
The next meeting will be on April 17th at 12 noon at Sue Kraetke’s home. Our April book selection is South of Superior by Ellen Airgood — a novel, set on the shores of Lake Superior in the Upper Peninsula, that explores the deep reward in caring for others, and shows how little it often takes to make someone happy.
