The Charity Guild of St. John United Church of Christ will host a program by Carol Webb, a member of the International Leadership Team of The Grail on Tuesday, March 26 beginning at 6; 30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall of the church.

 
The Grail is an international movement of women of different cultures, social backgrounds and generations located in 17 countries. Her work is focused particularly on education, training and community development in the global south. She has given workshops and trainings in Brasil, Papua New Guinea, Portugal, Mocambique, South Africa, Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.


About her involvement for almost 40 years, Carol tells us, “The Grail is an organization committed to building a world of justice and peace through education and action. We focus our work particularly on encouraging the full participation of women in their communities and the world at large. At the heart of Grails life is our spirituality and search for a deeper understanding of God and God’s presence in our world. Acknowledging that we are part of the whole creation, we strive to live simply and to nurture a culture of care for all the earth.”

Passion Week Services at Jefferson St. Christian Church

 

The Service of the Shadows is a very special event during Holy Week on Thursday evening, March 28th, at 7 pm, at Lincoln Christian Church.  The Service of the Shadows takes us on a journey as Jesus meets with his disciples in the upper room and on to the garden of Gethsemane to prepare to go to the cross.  It is a solemn service filled with gripping images from The Passion of the Christ, moving music provided by the Sanctuary Choir and the Handbells, and communion.  This service will prepare your heart for the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross on Good Friday and ultimately for His resurrection on Easter Sunday!  You will want to make this very moving service a part of your Holy week worship experience.
