Tuesday Eucharists in Advent & Advent Book Study at St. Mary's Episcopal Church, Cathedral Road

 

Dear Friends,

On Tuesdays in Advent, we will have mid-day Eucharists at 11:00, followed at 11:30 by an Advent Book Study. 

The Eucharists will be simple, contemplative in nature, and will be designed as a time for quiet, reflection, and a time of pondering and prayer.

For the Advent Book Study, we will study Rowan Williams' wonderful short book, "Being Christian" which has four wonderful chapters on Baptism, Bible, Eucharist, and Prayer.  

The book is available online through Amazon and other online sellers.  

The link for the book is below
