Returning this year is the Labyrinth Walk! There will be 2 sessions: 12-2PM and 5-7PM on Wednesday March 27th.

A labyrinth helps direct one’s focus toward God. Unlike a maze, which has dead ends and the possibility of getting lost, a labyrinth is a single path that winds from the outer edge in a circuitous way to the center.  This path sometimes takes unexpected twists and turns as we walk. In this way, it resembles the journey of life.  A labyrinth is used for walking meditation.

Labyrinths are used worldwide as a way to quiet the mind, calm anxieties, recover balance in life, enhance creativity, encourage meditation, insight, and a way to get closer to God.

Is a great way to connect with others, deepen your faith and have some food and lively discussion! If you’re new to SMA or a long time member please join us!

Our Lenten Supper Way of Love series will begin on Wednesday, February 28th. This will be the first supper in the series of 3. Each session starts at 5:30 and ends at 7:00pm in the Parish Hall. The next suppers will be on March 6 and 13.

Sign-up sheets will be available after each Sunday service in the Parish Hall during Coffee Hour. You may also call the office. Please sign up for all 3 sessions.

There is no cost, but we ask that you bring a hearty soup, favorite casserole, salad or dessert to share with the group. Bread and beverages will be provided.

 

Wednesday Women Luncheon

Parish women are invited to our next Wednesday Women Luncheon on November 1, 2023 at 12:00 noon in the Parish Hall. On menu will feature pasta, salad, bread and dessert and the cost is $15.00 per person.

At this lunch we welcome guest speaker, Anne Bean, Chief of Human Services, Cecil County Domestic Violence/Rape Crisis Center. She will speak to us about The Bridge, Cecil County’s

domestic violence shelter.

As a thank you to Anne, we will collect and send to The Bridge, personal items for the residents. She advises necessary items are furnished but extra items are much appreciated i.e., nail polish, make up, manicure sets, hair accessories. Please bring only NEW items – no slightly used things.

Please RSVP to the church office (office@stmaryanne.org or 410-287-5522) or Andrea Pugh (abpugh@comcast.net or 443-206-0575) before October 30th.
