Choral Evensong will be at 5:00 pm on Sunday, May 17. The one-hour Evensong is the most distinctively Anglican service: prayer sung by choir with thrilling music. It is a good opportunity for bringing guests. Reception afterward.

Films Worth Talking About invites you to another evening of food, fellowship and a movie, starting at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 9. Our feature is “Lifeboat”, directed by Alfred Hitchcock. The film takes place entirely on a lifeboat. See what happens when people with quite different moral and Christian responses to their dilemma are stranded together. It’s guaranteed we will have a good discussion following the film. RSVP to michael.chiusano@comcast.net.
