I am the bread of life. (John 6:35)

Are you hungry for the abundant life that Jesus promises us? Then join your fellow parishioners in a brand new adventure of faith, the St. Michael’s Table!

Beginning March 1, please plan to be a part of five Thursday evenings in Lent, when we will gather to share, pray, and learn.

On those evenings, St. Michael’s Table will offer a variety of opportunities to deepen our faith, centered around a community supper. Participants are welcome to come for part or all of the evening?your choice! Childcare will be available from 5:30-7:30 p.m., with kids joining everyone for dinner; older kids are welcome to participate in the evening’s offerings. For all the details, please see the next page.

In the sacred season of Lent, these gatherings will offer us a chance to deepen both our friendships with one another and our relationship with Christ. They will offer food for our bodies, minds, and souls. Come feed yourself at St. Michael’s Table.

On the five Thursdays of March, the St. Michael’s Table will offer the following “menu”:

4:00 p.m. “Conscious Love and Holy Week”

An exploration of Holy Week chants and liturgies developed by the Episcopal House of Prayer and Episcopal priest Cynthia Bourgeault (see more below)
