About Sunday Compline Service: The Sabbath Compline at 6:30 pm in Cowan Chapel is a night prayer of psalm, silence, and song — a creative hush with God at the end of the day at the beginning of the week.
Cowan Chapel is adjacent to Union Church on the Scaffold Cane Rd. side.
Is Psalm 27 a poem of assurance in God as “my light and my salvation,” or is it a poem of deep, almost incurable despondency? Is it both, because life is both? On this first Sunday of Lent, we’ll sing part of Psalm 27 and the Taizé chant, In God Alone (Mon âme se repose). Cantor: David Duffee; Instrumentalists: Jenny Bromley and Kim Kobersmith
Community Meals Every Wednesday 5:30pm-6:30pm: “Open Table” is a “pay what you can” ($0-$$) catered meal open to anyone. Chef Deb Beishline and a wonderful crew of volunteers prepare the menu each week always with GF and Vegetarian-friendly options (other needs can be accommodated on request!). Our hope is to remember the gifts of connection with great food the chance to “rub elbows” with neighbors. The food is great, the company is better, the hungry are fed, and we pray the love Jesus will be shown!
March 12 Menu:
· Pork Loin
· Mashed Potatoes
· Glazed Carrots
· Applesauce
· Lemon Blueberry Cobbler with Whipped Cream
· Pumpkin Fluff – gluten free
