Sharing – Food - Faith – Fun
Lent Supper - Ash Wednesday - February 22nd Vegetable Beef, Servers: Women's Board
Sacrificial Breakfast – Ash Wednesday February 22nd 10am - What is Sacrificial Breakfast? For many years, more than I can remember ; Trinity has had an Ash Wednesday Service with a Sacrificial Breakfast. Let me explain how the morning unfolds: As we enter the sanctuary we remain as silent as possible. (Time to visit after this event) We begin with a short service of prayer, scripture readings, hymns, Imposition of Ashes and communion. When the church service is complete; we walk silently into the Gathering area. There we partake of a Hot Cross bun, BLACK coffee (No cream or sugar); or water. Beside each place setting will be Devotional material to read over while having Breakfast in SILENCE. We end the Service there with the Benediction.THEN the happy Lutherans can begin to visit and enjoy each other’s presence. I hope this is helpful, God Bless the Lenten Season, Women of the Church, Jan Wenski
