St. Saviour:
Lenten Study: Julia Morris-Myers and Sarah Flynn will be offering a Lenten study on Kathleen Norris' Amazing Grace: A Vocabulary of Faith. Do you struggle with the words of our faith, such as judgment, dogma, salvation or sinner? If so, this is the class for you! Norris blends history, theology, storytelling and memoir in this fascinating book which encourages us to embrace ancient traditions and find faith in our contemporary world. The class will meet on Fridays in Lent, beginning February 22, from 12-1 in the Rectory Library. Please order your own book (used for as little as .01 on Amazon) and look for the vocabulary you'd like us to talk about. Please talk with Julia (667-9529) or Sarah (244-9496) for more information. This is a great book and we anticipate lots of lively discussion!

101 REASONS TO BE EPISCOPALIAN
Jesus said “Feed my sheep,” but he didn’t specify that they be fed a narrow and rigid diet. Our Episcopal/Anglican approach to the sacrament of Penance is a good example: “All may, some should, none must.”
