Feast and Fellowship: The Virgin Mary
Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ
Friday August 15 at 6:30 pm we celebrate The Virgin Mary – Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ, with Evening Prayer and fellowship. Bring your own dish and favorite beverage, with a little extra to share if you’d like!
Mary the mother of Jesus has been an object of veneration in the church since the apostolic age. She has been a favorite subject in art, music, and literature. Her humility and obedience to the message of God at the time of the Incarnation have made her an example for all ages of Christians.
During this season as we are searching for our next Rector, we will celebrate major feast days with a short 30-40 minute said Evening Prayer service (there is no music) that includes a brief homily about the day. These major feast days fall into two main categories: Principal Feasts, and Holy Days - which are also known as Red Letter Days. These services are a way to connect with the Lord in the midst of your week. The fellowship portion of the Feast and Fellowship events follow the service, and all are welcome to come and go, or come and enjoy the fellowship afterwards.
