2012 A BIG YEAR FOR

ANNUNCIATION

Beloved in Christ:

Thought 2011 was a big year for Annunciation? Just wait for 2012.

In 2011 we celebrated our fiftieth anniversary, developed fifty new acts of outreach to commemorate our fifty years of service to the community, bid farewell to Fr. David Holland, our priest and pastor for the past twenty-one years, and selected a search committee to help us find a new rector. Along with all of that we said good-bye to several of our members, some by move or attrition and some by death; we welcomed a number of new folks into our parish family; and we saw the ordination of Amy Haynie to the priesthood and James Pevehouse to the diaconate.

So how can 2012 be any bigger? Wait and see. The annual meeting Sunday, January 29 will bring us news of a next major step. Also in 2012 the search committee will be hard at work sifting through likely candidates for our next rector. A call may even take place before the end of the year, although its a little too early to make any sort of time-wise predictions. And there is a current of new life surging through the congregation. Who knows where that will lead us?

Well, beloveds, thats it for starters. Hang on to your hats. It should be an interesting year.

To Know Christ and to make Christ known to others...

NEWSLETTER-THE “MESSENGER”

ASH WEDNESDAY - February 22, 2012

The Liturgy for Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, is composed of three elements. The Liturgy of the Ashes, the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of Holy Communion. The Liturgy of Ashes includes the call for the Christian to keep Holy Lent, to repent and confess one’s sins, and as a sign of repentance to receive anointing with the dust of the palms from the previous year’s Palm Sunday Liturgy.

So important is this day that there are three Ash Wednesday Liturgies scheduled so that all members can begin Lent be receiving the ashes and making their Holy Communion.

“The Screwtape Letters”

by C.S. Lewis

Join us in the Parish Hall for a book study and discussion of this C.S. Lewis classic. The Screwtape Letters is a satirical Christian apologetics novel written in epistolary style by C.S. Lewis, first published in book form in February 1942. C. S. Lewis delves into moral questions about good vs. evil, temptation, repentance, and grace. Through this wonderful tale, the reader emerges with a better understanding of what it means to live a faithful Christian life. Grab a copy at Amazon.com or at your local bookstore.
