Many of us know St. Patrick as the great evangelist to the Irish. We know that he was a Briton, captured and sold into slavery by Irish pirates, only to return to the land that stole his freedom in order to free them from bondage to sin and death. It is unfortunate that our neighbors do not know this story, but instead many think of this holy day as a time to fulfill their sensual desires. This year, we will have a service of choral Evensong with a homily for the Feast of St. Patrick at 6:30 pm on March 17th. Both choir and organ music will accompany our prayers and singing. Please mark your calendars for this special Evensong service and expect more to come in the future.
Church Events
Lenten Quiet Day – March 7th
Join the Church for a day of silent meditation and prayer on Saturday, March 7th (8:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.). Amid a culture of noise and distraction it is vital that the people of God dedicate time to the Lord which is uninterrupted. The prophet Elijah recognized that God is in the habit of speaking to His people in a “still, small voice” as opposed to the howling winds or the rock rending earthquake (I Kgs. 19:11-13). Thus, we must learn to sit in the disquietude of silence to hear Him. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.

Seminary Course at the Church of Our Saviour
If you have an interest in deepening your understanding of the Bible, consider signing up for Cranmer Theological House’s Biblical Theology I course, which will be held on the campus of the Church of Our Saviour, May 15-17.
This Biblical Theology course intends to help the student to read the whole Bible as Christian Scripture. This course traces redemptive historical themes throughout the Old Testament, specifically demonstrating how they find their fulfillment in the Person and Work of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. Special attention is given to the major stories within the Old Testament and how they fit into the central message of Scripture.
The Course will be taught by the Rt. Rev. Dr. Charles F. Camlin. He holds a PhD from the University of Middlesex, centring on English Reformation controversies around the Apostles’ Creed, as well as a Master of Theology degree from Dallas Theological Seminary and Cranmer Theological House, Texas. He is the Dean of Cranmer Theological House, editor of Cranmer Theological Journal, co-editor of the book Re-formed Catholic Anglicanism, and is a member of the Society of Anglican Theologians. He is married to Brett and they have three children and five grandchildren.
