Sunday School: There will be no Sunday School classes at both St. David’s and St. Mark’s during the school March Break—no Sunday School on March 11th and March 18th. Palm/Passion Sunday on April 1st will be an All Ages Worship with children and their families helping to provide worship leadership.

Lenten Reflection with the Labyrinth
There is a long tradition of making the Season of Lent a special time for reflection, especially personal reflections on one’s faith journey. A labyrinth has been created in the hall of St. Mark’s for the season. Use our labyrinth each week during the Season of Lent to mark the journey of God’s promises and the pathway to Jerusalem. A printed weekly reflection will be provided on a stand in the hall. Nan will continue a guided contemplative practice--now with the labyrinth--on Tuesday mornings at 9:30. Please join her during that time to walk the labyrinth--or walk the labyrinth at your convenience at times that the hall is not being used for other purposes. Labyrinths are symbolic journeys, a distilled version of the path we walk through life guided by our faith. This year, Lent is a time of immersing ourselves in God’s promises of presence, love, and guidance – enjoy the journey.
