Here’s a request for some help:   Ladies, we need some feedback.  St. Athanasius will be holding a Women’s Retreat on Saturday, March 28th from 8:45AM to 3:00PM.  The problem is that on that same day, the St. Athanasius Booster Club is having an Easter Egg Hunt (from 11AM to about noon), followed by lunch and games (from about noon to 1:00PM).

For those of you who would be interested in the Women’s Retreat, does the Easter Egg Hunt make it hard for you to come to the retreat?  I know for me, with this being the first time we’ve had an Easter Egg Hunt at St. A’s, I am really torn between the two even though I am on the leadership team for the Women’s Retreat.  As a mom, and with this being a memorable occasion, it would be hard for me to miss my children participating in the hunt.

This is where we need your help.  The Women’s Retreat leadership team needs a head count of how many people are affected by this, so that we can adjust the retreat agenda as necessary to help those of us women who want to participate in both activities.  For instance, we can have the “singing” portion of the retreat during the Easter Egg Hunt part, so that women can leave the retreat and go to the hunt and then come back later and not feel like they missed out on any of the main spiritual aspects of the retreat.  That’s at least one idea.  Our team is coming up with others.

We’re sorry that this conflict occurred.  We’d appreciate hearing back from you.  Thank you!

Here’s a reminder that the Taize Service is tonight at St. Athanasius Church.

Time: 6:00PM (will last about 45 minutes)

Refreshments provided by SIS will follow afterwards. All are welcome, men, women and children.

A Taize service is a beautiful, meditative prayer service with song, readings and reflection in a calm, candlelit setting.

The SIS group will NOT be meeting tomorrow, February 23rd. The Taize service this Thursday will be considered our February meeting.

Now that Lent is here, St Athanasius will be offering a Taize Service on Thursday Feb 26 at 6:00 pm that will last about 45 minutes or so with refreshments afterwards. All are welcome, men, women and children.

Hope to see everyone there once all this snow melts.
