Dear Companions in Christ,

Lent began with a bright, sunny Ash Wednesday observed safely outside. Many thanks to those who participated in the service or drive-thru.

We gave out Lenten Survival Kits to help you keep a holy -- set apart for a special purpose -- Lent at home. These kits are designed to complement our Sunday worship. We're having a Lent Drive-Thru this Sunday 11:30-Noon if you'd like to pick up a Lenten Survival Kit. We'll also have copies of the "Listening With All Your Heart, Soul, Strength & Mind" devotional booklet. Please let me know if you need us to drop off these items to you or someone else in the parish who can't get out to pick them up.

This Sunday, February 21 is the First Sunday in Lent. We trust you'll appreciate the music and liturgy planned for the 9:30 livestream on our YouTube channel (and archived thereafter). It will also be on WPAA-TV at the regular times and posted on our Facebook page by Sunday afternoon. Here's this week's bulletin. Consider preparing for worship by wearing purple, lighting a candle (perhaps the one included in the Lenten Survival Kit), taking a few centering breaths and asking God to guide you to reflect, repent and be renewed.
What else can we do to help you have a holy and meaningful Lent this year? Please email or call.

Faithfully,
Dee Anne+

P.S.Try something different this Lent. Come to our support and study group inspired by the "Listening With All Your Heart, Soul, Strength, & Mind" booklet via Zoom on Sundays 10:30-11:15AM beginning this Sunday. Download the booklet here. See page 11 of the attached bulletin for details.

Saturday, February 27 from 9:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m.
Rooted in Hope in a Time of Anxiety: A Day for Laity
Are you growing weary of life in “COVID-time?”
Would you benefit from a Lenten Retreat?

Join our bishops and laity from across ECCT for a day of spiritual refreshment and learning. Living in the midst of chronic anxiety impacts all of us; our relationships with our children, spouses/partners, family, friends, colleagues, and faith communities. Together we will learn about the predictable ways humans react to chronic anxiety from Dr. David Olsen, a nationally recognized expert on the impact of anxiety on families and churches. We will also explore patterns of behavior that can help alleviate stress and anxiety. Interspersed throughout the day our chaplains from the Bethany House of Prayer will offer opportunities for reflection, meditation, and prayer. 
 
Note: This is a free event open to all laity in ECCT; preregistration is required in order to receive the Zoom link. Please register using the below link.

Dear Companions in Christ,
 
Last year was a Lent like no other, as the pandemic took us all by surprise just a couple of weeks in. This year we’re able to offer a different kind of Lenten observance, by design, with a mix of at-home, in-person and virtual options. The common goal is to help one another grow in love and service wherever we are.
  
                                                                                                  
†       Liturgy for the Sundays in Lent (February 21 & 28, March 7, 14 & 21) livestreamed at 9:30AM on our YouTube channel (and archived thereafter), posted on our Facebook page by Sunday afternoon, and on WPAA-TV at the regular times. Please make a point to participate in our Sunday worship for Lent. Wear purple, light a candle and prepare to reflect, repent and be renewed.
 
†       Sundays in Lent 10:30-11:15 AM (beginning February 21) on Zoom. Join this support and study group to work through the Lenten devotional, “Listening With All Your Heart, Soul, Strength & Mind” which you can download here. You may print it out at home, read it online or pick up a copy on Ash Wednesday; we'll drop off a copy to you upon request. Use the booklet daily at home, then join us Sundays to learn and listen together. Please email or call the parish office for the Zoom link.
 
†       Morning Prayer 7:30AM Tuesdays in Lent (beginning February 23) on Zoom, led by Helen Stowe. Please email or call the parish office to receive the link to log on from a device or call-in on a landline telephone.
 
†       Give generously and sacrificially. Although the Wallingford Emergency Shelter where we’ve served for many years is not in operation at this time due to COVID precautions, we can still support the efforts to minister to homeless individuals. During the month of February, make out a check to St. Paul’s earmarked “Columbus House” and your gift will be matched (up to $500 total) by a generous donor. This matching gift is offered in thanksgiving for the leadership of Trudy Guth, and all who serve and prepare meals for this ministry. After a winter hiatus, our Love Your Neighbor Drive-Thru returns the second Saturday of the month (beginning March 13).
 
In addition, I’m happy to meet with you to pray together, hear confession or just share how we’re doing these days. What do you miss most? What are you learning? How might God be calling you forward? I’m available to chat by phone, Facetime, Zoom or a walk outside, weather permitting. Please know that you and yours are held dear in my prayers.

Faithfully,
Dee Anne+
