Lenten Studies, services and worship
round the Diocese
WEDNESDAYS
"The Five Seasons of Prayer"
Wednesdays at 12 noon beginning March 13The Episcopal Church on Edisto – How
do we make sense of prayer? Are some prayers more effective, and by the
way, when we say prayers out loud where do they go anyway? For such a
well-known part of our church life, praying is a mystery. In five
sessions participants will study written, sung, silent and corporate
prayer, and even write their own. Each 40-minute session will be
followed by lunch.
Lenten Suppers and Worship in Florence
Wednesdays at 6 pm beginning March 13
St. Catherine's, Florence

with international themes at 6 pm followed by an evening service at 7 pm
during Lent.
“How to be a Christian in 2019”
Wednesdays at 6 pm March 13-April 10
St. George's, Summerville: Based
on the Third Chapter of St. Peter’s First Epistle, this teaching series
will be taught by the Rector, the Very Rev. Chris Huff. Each evening
will begin with a soup supper and fellowship. A nursery is available.
The word on the street is that our nation is more divided economically,
socio-politically and culturally than ever before. You can feel the
stress and strain at almost every seam of our national fabric. While the
Church used to be a unifying factor in our society, her voice has been
sidelined from the Public Square. Who, then, informs how we should
live? The First Epistle of Peter declares that our job as followers of
Jesus is to be a blessing in every context of life. Fr. Chris will draw
from examples of life, music, cinema and song, showing what “being a
blessing” should look like in every age… especially in 2019.THURSDAYS

Good Shepherd, Summerville: Death
is a part of life from which none of us can escape. We deal with the
death of friends and family members during our lifetimes; and each of us
must eventually die. Led by Michael Szymanowski, the goal of this
class is that, in facing death as a fact, we may claim this gift of life
more fully. Topics will include how to deal with grief, what Scripture
says about life after death, how to celebrate a life even at the time of
death, helping children with the topic of death, how to help others who
are grieving, practical advice on funeral planning – and more. 'The Way of Love'
Each Sunday in March at 10 am
St. Stephen's, Charleston: The
Way of Love is a way of life. More than a program or curriculum, it is a
return to the ancient pathways and Rules of Life that followers of
Jesus have observed for centuries. They knew the power of commitment to a
core set of practices – Turn, Learn, P ray, Worship, Bless, Go, Rest –
and the power of gathering in a small group where you find love and
support for living into these commitments. Meet each Sunday in St.
Stephen's Hall. Child care is provided. Find a flyer here.
