The What and Why of Worship
@ St. Francis by the Lake Episcopal Church 


Do you ever wonder why we do what we do when we
gather on Sundays? What are the different colors for (have you ever noticed the colors change from time to time)?  Why do we read 4 different pieces from scripture each week?  What’s with all the standing and kneeling and sitting?
Why is the Gospel read from the aisle?  Why are there candles on the altar when we have electricity?  Why do the priests wear what they wear?  What’s with sharing the peace?


Whatever your questions about the what and why of our worship, come and join us as we talk in depth about our form of worship in the Episcopal Church.
The weeks of May 19 through June 23
Mondays @ 7:30am (bring your own breakfast)
OR
Tuesdays @ 11:30am (bring your own lunch)
OR
Tuesdays @ 6:00pm (bring your own supper)


Bring your questions!  Really!  I’ll have topics for each week but I want to answer what you want to know.
