Growing Compassion through Acts of Mercy: A Lenten Series

6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Wednesdays in Lent

The works of mercy are precisely the concrete sign of our confession that the Son of God has come in the flesh: visiting the sick, feeding those who do not have food, taking care of the outcast. We must perform works of mercy, therefore, because each of our brothers and sisters, whom we must love, is the flesh of Christ: God has come in the flesh to identify himself with us, and in those who suffer it is Christ who suffers".

- Pope Francis, Morning Homilies, January 7, 2016

The Outreach Steering Committee and the Rector are working together to help the congregation link our spiritual practices with our ethical practices of compassion. This Lent, this will be the focus of our lenten learning series: Growing Compassion through Acts of Mercy.

We are pleased to share that several of our Outreach partners and a beloved former parishioner have agreed to join us for this series to share with us how their works of mercy have deepened their compassion and their knowledge of God.

Each week will feature a guest speaker, assigned readings, and small group discussions, and will include: Sooky Lassen, former Hunger and Outtreach chair and founder of Save the Children, Long Island, Dr. Isma Choudhury, former President of the Islamic Center of Westbury and founder of the Upholding HUmniuty Project, Jon Stepanian, founder of Community Solidarity, Pilar Moya, director of the Housing Helps non-profit in Greenlawn.

Each week will feature a guest speaker, assigned readings, and small group discussions and will be preceded by a light supper. To sign up to bring something for supper, please use this form. Supper will begin at 6:30 pm and will be followed at 7:00 pm by our formation series. Each night will end with prayer at 8:30 pm.

Watch this space for more details.

News

St. John's Episcopal Church was the first religious institution to be established in Cold Spring Harbor. The first Episcopalian services were held in the little 18th century school house just above the site of the present church. The very first Vestry minutes, written in fine script on September 4, 1831, lists the founders who pledged $2,000 to build a new church.

“If you are seeking after God, together we might find them.”

Seeking after God is one of the principle marks of Christian discipleship. Christians look for God, and find God, in all parts of life, but sometimes it helps to have company. That’s what the church is for. We are the fellowship of those who seek to find Jesus in their lives. We are companions in life and in the spiritual journey.

Join us in seeking God together.
