Lenten Book Study 2022
This year we will be learning about and discussing six women from the Old Testament (Jephthah’s Daughter, The Shunammite Woman, Naomi and Ruth, Esther, Judith) in five sessions. Some will be familiar and some probably will not. All have a story to tell and things to teach us about their time and place, their beliefs and spirituality, and their relationship with God and their people. Details about the book can be found below.
Meetings will take place each Monday during Lent beginning on March 7 and continuing March 14, 21, 28, and April 4 at 7:00 pm. We will be meeting at the home of

Summer 2022 Mission Opportunity
St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in New Providence is sponsoring a work mission trip in the summer and inviting all parishes in our convocation to participate. It is a trip similar to an ASP trip, where those who participate will be working on light construction projects to improve the lives of the poor in Connellsville, PA. There will be opportunities for fun and recreation on the weekend and evenings, including white water rafting and possibly a visit to Frank Lloyd Wright’s Falling Water.
The trip is open to anyone in 8th grade and older. This is a wonderful opportunity for families to do a mission trip together. The cost is $450-$650 per person. To learn more about the trip and requirements for participating, see Fr. Rob+ for an information sheet.
