We try to have at least three people here at all times, at least one of whom is a man. Young people, too, are welcome to come with a parent. This is an excellent way to center yourself in preparation for the events of Good Friday and the subsequent days.

Men of the church...we need security for those who come to pray during the Easter Vigil on Maundy Thursday. There are four, two-hour time slots available. Please help us to insure everyone is safe during the vigil. If you have questions, please contact Roger Horton at 832/412-0997.
