Palms and Problems Go Up In Smoke, Stone Soup and Ashes Wednesday
Father Manny Borg burned last year’s Easter palms along with a collection of written problems and grievances in a pre-Lent tradition we started at St Nick’s today.
They burned really well… it was very meaningful. Unfortunately I didn’t press “record” in time, but you can see we’ve got a LOT of ashes for next THIS Wedenesday.
There is no connection between this and Father Manny’s 3-alarm chili from the Chili Supper Saturday night, though.
I couldn’t resist – I tagged this “Episcopal” and “Comedy” at YouTube!
Meanwhile, Stone Soup will be served on Wednesday at 530pm at the church, using the ingredients gathered piecemeal from the congregation on Sunday. The Ash Wednesday liturgy, with Imposition of Ashes, starts at 7pm.
The Times, They Are A Changin’ (Again)
Happy New Year to all, as we in Chicago wait to ring out the old year and ring in the new one!
Tonight’s Labyrinth Walk will take place… at 9pm and will conclude with Eucharist by Midnight. However, you can arrive at the original time or later and still complete your journey on the ancient pilgrim path before taking a simple Eucharist (communion) with us before heading into the new year.
The times, they may have been a-changin’ but the canvas labyrinth WILL BE WALKED tonight. It takes about 40 minutes to walk, if you do it purposefully and using it as a tool for prayer and meditation. Apologies for any confusion, another group using our meeting space may have had a time change for their event earlier in the evening.
