St. Paul's hosts a lunch 'n' learn series for Lent

Posted Feb 23, 2012 By EMC News

EMC News -Kanata is a community rich in human resources. Among them is a diversity of churches, faiths and beliefs.

All can come together in faith on their own Lenten journey at a series of Lenten Lunch 'n Learn services to be held at St. Paul's Anglican Church, 20 Young Rd., just north of Hazeldean Road.

Each address will be given by a different speaker, and is structured to address the main building-blocks of Lent.

If your faith is strong - please come and share in the celebration.

If your faith is only simmering -please come and be strengthened in body and soul.

If your Christian education is scarce -please come and build it with others.

If your faith is waning -please come and have it bolstered.

If you merely have questions -come, and receive answers to affirm your own personal journey through Lent.

These Lenten lectures have proven very popular with Kanata residents. Lectures are scheduled for the four Wednesdays prior to Easter, and begin promptly at 11:30 a.m. After, there is Christian fellowship along with homemade soup and bread. There is no charge, but a free-will offering is gladly accepted.

Following is a schedule of dates, speakers and topics:

- Feb. 29: Self-Examination with Father Pierre Champoux, of Holy Redeemer Church.

- March 7: Penitence with Pastor Bob Davies, of Kanata Baptist Church.

- March 14: Prayer with Mark Stalter, of St. Paul's.

- March 21: Fasting with Pastor Mike Miedema.

- March 29: Almsgiving with Father Bill Prentice, of St. Paul's.
