March 6 • Calvary Church Lenten
Luncheon Preaching Series
The Very Rev. Andy Andrews
The Very Rev. Andy Andrews feels that
“
with our accelerated 21st century lives,”
as people of faith, “we struggle to feed
our wild, dreaming, dancing sides. It
seems easy to forget these days that life is
a spiritual exploration with few limits and
boundless possibilities.” About his work at
St. Mary’s Cathedral and within its diverse
neighborhood, Andrews says, “I have met
many angels who live and work in the
area. I’ve also met some wild-eyed, tough,
battered folks. It is slow, methodical, holy
work, an adventure of mostly goodness
every day.” Bus leaves at 11:00 a.m. Sign
up in Transportation. Bring lunch money!

March 7 • Germantown Community
Theatre Presents
“
Quilters the Musical”
Ostensibly the story of a pioneer woman
and her six daughters, QUILTERS blends
a series of interrelated scenes into a
rich mosaic which captures the sweep
and beauty, the terror and joy, the harsh
challenge and abiding rewards of frontier
life. In the end, when the various patches
are assembled into one glorious, brilliantly
colorful quilt, the effect is both breathtaking
and magical—and a theatrical masterstroke
which will linger in the mind and memory
long after the house lights have dimmed.

2680.
Bus leaves at 7:00 p.m. Sign up in
Transportation.
