Weekly News from the MDI Episcopal Partnership! St. Andrew & St. John's and St. Saviour's A Handful of Inspiration "TO BE HOPEFUL IN BAD TIMES is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places-and there are so many-where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction." -quote from Howard Zinn, in Cricket's sermon for Lent 4 Music & Meditation for Lent Wednesdays at 12:00 noon at St. Saviour's April 9 - Julia Morris-Myers April 16 – Douglas Beck Join us for Holy Week on MDI Palm Sunday, April 13 9:00 a.m. Liturgy of the Palms, Eucharist, and the Passion at St. John's 11:00 a.m. Liturgy of the Palms, Eucharist, and the Passion at St. Saviour's Wednesday, April 16 12:00 p.m. Music & Meditation for Lent at St. Saviour's 4:00 p.m. Stations of the Cross, Church of Our Father Maundy Thursday, April 17 6:00 p.m. Celtic Eucharist, Footwashing, Stripping of the Altar at St. John's Good Friday, April 18 12:00 p.m. Liturgy of the Day, the Solemn Collects and Prayers at St. Saviour's Holy Saturday, April 19 6:30 p.m. Easter Vigil, Church of Our Father  Sunday of the Resurrection, April 20 9:00 a.m. Holy Eucharist at St. John's 11:00 a.m. Holy Eucharist at St. Saviour's Easter Flowers Easter flowers will be ordered soon.
