The Curate's Corner
Dear Good People of
St. Mark’s,
This Lent, St.
Mark’s Church is offering a Friday night Lenten series
beginning February 8th and concluding the
Friday before Palm Sunday, March 14th. Each
evening we will begin with Stations of the Cross at 6:00
p.m. and end with a simple supper followed by Compline.
The six-week program series includes two music
offerings, as well as, four meditation offerings given
by the parish clergy.
The two music
offerings are on February 8th and February 29th.
On February 8th, the women of St. Mark’s
Parish Choir will join with the St. Ambrose Singers
along with Katrina Burgraff-Kledas, a Mezzo Soprano, to
offer Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater. It will be
offered during the liturgy of Stations of the Cross. On
February 29th, following Stations of the
Cross, the St. Ambrose Singers will offer a sacred
concert of Lenten choral music.
After Stations of
the Cross on February 15th, February 22nd,
March 7th, and March 14th the
parish clergy will offer a series of meditations that
view the passion story through the eyes of different
biblical characters. These meditations will move
through the biblical accounts of our Lord’s agony in the
Garden of Gethsemane all the way to his blessed death on
the hard wood of the cross. The program will conclude
with a brief discussion on the evening’s meditation.
Please prayerfully
consider this series to be a part of your Lenten Rule of
Life. You may also consider, as part of your Lenten
Rule, to join us on Wednesday evenings for the Institute
of the Good Shepherd. In this adult form we learn and
discuss the Christian faith and practice that has been
passed down to us through the centuries. The class
begins with Evening Prayer at 5:15.
Faithfully in
Christ,
The Rev. Charles A.
Hough, IV
