Our Lenten program this year will be led by the Sisters of the Community of St. Mary. These Episcopal Nuns live at their convent in Sewanee, TN and are members of a monastic movement that goes back to 1865 when their order was started in New York. The sisters will take turns sharing with us the richness of their ancient monastic way of life. Together we will learn about their Benedictine way of living that includes prayers, work, radical hospitality, rich community, accountability, and more. While many think of monks and nuns as being something restricted to the Roman Catholic Church, the Episcopal Church has a long history of monastic life that continues to influence our churches to this day.
For the first session on March 3, we will host the Prioress of the Community of St. Mary, Sister Madeleine Mary, who will travel from Sewanee to be with us. Sister Madeleine Mary has been living in religious life for over 50 years having entered the cloister after teaching middle school in New York and spending time advocating for environmental justice issues.
In the sessions following on March 10, March 17, March 24, March 31, and April 7, we will meet in person at the Parish Hall to gather for a virtual visit with other Sisters from the Order, including Sister Hannah Winkler, who made her life profession in January 2021, and Sister Elizabeth Grace, who will share on the Rule of St. Benedict’s emphasis on humility. You may also participate on Zoom for any of the sessions, but we will hope you will join us in person if you can. Click here to sign up to be emailed a Zoom link.
All are also invited to join us for Evening Prayer in the Atrium Chapel of the Parish Hall at 6:00pm on each Thursday in Lent (March 3 – April 7). Dinner follows at 6:30pm in the Parish Hall. RSVP and pay for dinner by clicking one of the boxes below by Tuesday of each week so food is not wasted. Masks will be required except when eating.

Join Greenville’s leading Easter tradition–the annual Living Gallery–to celebrate 25 years of commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
As director and playwright for the inaugural Living Gallery in 1998, Jeffrey Stegall and David Burke have collaborated on a re-visioning of that first-ever Living Gallery play. This fresh adaptation incorporates new scenes and characters for encouraging a pandemic-weary 21st-century audience and focuses on Jesus’ injunction: “Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
The play shadows the early followers of Jesus between His crucifixion and reappearance. Through the darkest days Jesus’ disciples discover the wonderful miracle of the resurrection.
The program will include powerful, Gospel-focused music and iconic Living Gallery works of art such as Rembrandt’s The Storm on the Sea of Galilee and The Three Crosses, Da Vinci’s The Last Supper, modern sculptor Max Greiner’s Divine Servant, and the pinnacle of sculptor Adam Lenckhardt’s career, the magnificent ivory Descent from the Cross. In addition, two paintings from M&G’s collection are also featured, Francois de Troy’s Christ and the Samaritan Woman and Benjamin West’s Ascension. We trust this year’s Living Gallery: Through the Darkest Day will be a blessing and encouragement during this Easter season of celebration!

Stop by Saturday, May 28th to meet author Christina Custodio and hear about her book! From the time he was born, Christina had always felt her son, Isaiah, would die young. Though a typical boy with no health issues, the thought had always lingered. When a headache sent him to the hospital and surgery for a severe brain hemorrhage, Christina begged God to change His mind and save her son’s life. In her memoir, When God Changed His Mind, Christina shares of her dependence on God during the ups and downs of their journey, the power of prayer, and her determination to use challenges and struggles for His glory.

From the producers of The Screwtape Letters comes a dazzling, new theatrical experience that takes you further up and further into the spiritual journey of C.S. Lewis.
When Lewis came to faith in 1931, it wasn’t obvious how his journey would unfold. Why did the BBC suddenly give him a national audience to deliver unprecedentedly popular radio talks that would become Mere Christianity? How did Hitler’s devious charm influence the writing of The Screwtape Letters? Why was Lewis such an effective apologist/evangelist to skeptics? Was it prayer? Was it his expectation of the Second Coming? Or his profoundly deep longing for Heaven?
Using Lewis’ own words within a vividly immersive, multimedia experience, award-winning actor Max McLean takes you Further Up & Further In the mind and heart of one of the most imaginative and gifted writers in history.
