Thank You – “Charles and I would like to thank the members of St. Alban’s, especially the Malladys, for the honor they paid to Charles on his 90th birthday at the Pancake Supper. It was a fun evening and the men did a terrific job with the cooking. The decorations were very impressive and it was a complete surprise to us. We love St. Alban’s very much and hope our health will enable us to be present at the services soon.
Charles & Sue Henson”
Thank you to everyone who shopped for supplies, cooked, and cleaned for the Pancake Supper. Total ticket sales was $517.00, minus $231.58 for supplies, for a net profit of $285.42 and a wonderful night of good food and fellowship!
The Rev. Alan Hansen
This week we begin our Lenten series on Wednesday night beginning at 6:00 p.m. with soup and sandwich followed by the program ending at 7:30 p.m. I’m asking all of you to prayerfully consider making this a priority for your Lenten discipline. I have several topics that we are going to cover together – focusing on the cross. It is my hope if by the time we reach Palm Sunday and enter Holy Week, our understanding and appreciation of what God has done for us in Christ will produce a mighty celebration on Easter Sunday. I also encourage you to think about who you might invite and have them join us.

The Diocese of Atlanta Ministry Summit is like the traditional diocesan ministry fair but with a new name, a new format, and a new purpose. You are invited to come and talk it up!
The theme for this special day at the Cathedral of St. Philip – Saturday, March 8 – is Faith in Transition. The day starts at 8:30 a.m. with check-in, coffee, displays and special bookstore hours, followed by the Great Gathering with a special guest speaker at 9:30 a.m.
The guest speaker will be the Rev. Thomas Brackett, officer for church planting and ministry redevelopment for The Episcopal Church. He will talk about how to take advantage of new directions in diocesan, parish and individual ministries.
You may sign up for two 90-minute conversations, one before lunch and one after. People knowledgeable and experienced on each topic will lead, share and listen. Cost for the day (with lunch and morning snack) is $20. (Bring materials for note-taking.) Copies of the topics are available on the round table in the Narthex.
You can register online at www.episcopalatlanta.org or forms for mail-in registration are available on the round table in the Narthex.
