Six days before the Passover, Jesus visits the home of his friends Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. A few days earlier, Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. In an act of love and reverence, Mary anoints Jesus' feet with a costly perfume, filling the house with its fragrance. This act, so beautiful in its simplicity, is a deeply touching moment as Mary prepares Jesus for his death, an event that changed the course of history.  

I look forward to being with you this Sunday as we ponder John’s presentation of this story, a reflection that holds particular significance just before we embark on the journey of Holy Week. Fr. Karl 

During Lent, our liturgy is deeply reflective and penitential, designed to guide us through a spiritual journey of preparation that leads up to Easter. Decorations in the church are minimal, and the predominant color of vestments and the altar is purple, the color of repentance. 

If you worship online, we want you to feel included and cared for. If you would like a paper copy of the Worship Pamphlet so that you may follow along, please know that Nancy in our church office at 610-688-1110 is here to support you. She will gladly send you a paper copy.
