Lent 2020
LENTEN BOOK is Wesley Hill’s The Lord’s Prayer: A Guide to
Praying to Our Father from the Christian Essentials series is our
Rector’s selection for our parish’s Lenten book study in our small
groups, support groups, and private study. Read it slowly. Savor
with others.
THE RECTOR’S FORUM: LOVE THY NEIGHBOR
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, people knew their
neighbors. They talked to each other; shared their porches; they
cooked out, and some even went to church with their neighbors.
Whether or not you grew up in Orlando or moved here fifteen
minutes ago, in our age of unprecedented mobility and increasing
isolationism, it's kinda hard to make lasting connections with those
who live right outside our front door. We might have hundreds of
"friends" through online social networking, but we often don't even
know the full name of the person who lives right next door.
During the five Sundays in Lent, discover biblical counsel and simple wisdom about becoming a
good neighbor — long before hurricane season or a presidential election put such strength to the test.
SMALL GROUPS
This Lent at All Saints we are meeting as friends and neighbors in each other’s homes for an easy, lite
meal, and to nurture friendship, to read Scripture and pray together.
There are two (2) ways to sign up for Small Groups Lent 2020.
First, you can sign up to host. We need at least ten (10) hosts this Lent.
Last year, over 100 people gathered in our ten (10) Small Groups.
Some hosts decided to host for five consecutive weeks of Lent.
Some hosts kicked off the series and let the group share responsibility for the next several weeks.
All of our hosts let us know which night of the week worked for them.
We need at least ten (10) hosts this Lent, maybe more.
Second, you can sign up to join a Small Group.
Unless you make a specific request, we will do our best to keep you in your neighborhood or close by.
Sign up today to host or join a small group this Lent at All Saints by registering online, or contact Liz
Stewart at 407-599-4304 or liz@allsaintswinterpark.org.
.Special Events at All Saints MARDI GRAS PARTY will be an event you do not want to miss! On February 23, at 6:00 p.m., we are going to have jazz on tap, delicious food, like gumbo, oysters, shrimp remoulade, cajun catfish, and more! The registration fee will be $35 per person. SHROVE TUESDAY: PANCAKE SUPPER will be on Tuesday, February 25 in the Thomas Center. Why do we eat pancakes on the last day before Lent? During Lent food items like meats, fats, eggs, milk, and fish were regarded as restricted. To keep such food from being wasted, many families would have big feasts on Shrove Tuesday in order to consume those items that would inevitably become spoiled during the next forty days. The English tradition of eating pancakes on Shrove Tuesday came about as a way to use as much milk, fats, and eggs as possible before Ash Wednesday began. WOMEN’S RETREAT will be from February 29-March 1 at New Smyrna Beach Florida Hampton Inn. Get ready for a weekend filled with worship, yoga, and special speakers to talk about our retreat theme, “Who Am I”.
