DID YOU NOW?
LENT HAS BEGUN AND TODAY IS THE FIRST SUNDAY AFTER ASH WEDNESDAY.
According to the Little Black Lent Book, be encouraged to pray. All can pray. Prayer time should be approached with a welcomed smile. There will be difficult times, however, we should still pray.
Tip: Find an enjoyable place to pray. For instance, in a comfortable chair, with a lit candle, an enjoyable place.
Dowload the CTP Parish APP! You can send in your Prayer Request. Smile.
Because this event will be during Lent for both churches, there will be a “Meet & Greet” after the gathering in the foyer outside of Kenny Hall. Those attending are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to be distributed to the poor.
