As Lent Begins, St. Ann’s Church Adds Sunday Morning Service

“Early Church” at St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church begins on the First Sunday in Lent, this weekend.

In addition to its 11 a.m. Eucharist, the parish is adding a new 9:45 a.m. service, called Early Church, geared for families and individuals “on-the-go.” The 9:45 a.m. liturgy is a redesign of the parish’s Children’s Church service that began last summer. The half-hour service, in the sanctuary, will retain the kid-friendly atmosphere.  St. Ann & the Holy Trinity’s Sunday schedule will continue after Easter.

Lenten Programs Include Series On Anglicanism, Quiet Days

Ash Wednesday is tomorrow and Brooklyn Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio, spiritual leader of the borough’s Catholics, will distribute ashes at the noon mass at Saint James Basilica, located on James Street and Cathedral Place, the diocese announced. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season for Catholics. It is a day Catholics traditionally observe by abstaining from meat and reflecting on their sins. DiMarzio will distribute the ashes on the foreheads of the congregants during the mass.

Worship Service Focuses
On Wide Range of Artistic Gifts

Plymouth Church’s Worship and Arts committee offers special lay-led service that focuses on the arts, on Sunday, February 11.

This liturgy will build upon the well-received worship service that congregants organized and led last August. The theme of this 11 a.m. “Arts in Worship” service” is “Differing Gifts,” based on Romans 12:4-8. Participants will use their God-given gifts in a service of worship.
