Urbana Farmer's Market
Urbana Farmer's Market
We went out of a chilly May morning to meet with members of our community at our farmer's market. We saw locals who we knew, meet new people in town, and in general had a great time visiting with everyone who stopped by to say "Hi". See you all next month!
Palm Sunday
Palm Sunday
On Palm Sunday, we gathered for the traditional Palm Sunday readings done in a less traditional setting. We interspersed images, foot washing, Eucharist, and a version of the stations of the cross as they appeared in the readings. It was powerful.
Micropantry
Micropantry
This Lent we opened a micropantry for our neighbors. We have already had to fill it several times (including several times in one week near the end of April), so we know that it has been found by those in need. Many thanks to our community members for helping to keep it stocked!
Lenten Study
Lenten Study
During Lent, we read "The Mystics Would Like a Word" by Shannon K Evens. This book covered modern topics through a lens of the teachings of 6 women mystics - Teresa of Avila, Margery Kempe, Hildegard of Bingen, Julian of Norwich, Catherine of Siena, and Therese of Lisieux. We read two chapters each week and had in-depth conversations on the topics and the mystic on each Wednesday of Lent.
Maryknoll Informational Meeting
Maryknoll Informational Meeting
We gathered in February to hear from member Susan Nagele about the Maryknoll Lay Missioners and to discuss how we might be able to assist in their much-needed work in promoting nonviolence.
As the new year began, we settled in to our regular masses on Sunday, along with our Second Saturday evening mass. Crowds are beginning to increase, with most seats being filled on Sunday, along with as many as a dozen people on Zoom. It's amazing that we have only been in this space for a year and have really made it feel like our home.
