Mardi Gras & Ash Wednesday

[Phil Porter]

Dear Friends,

I know we're still picking the bits of Christmas tree tinsel from the shag carpets and I've only just stopped lisitening to my Pandora Christmas music stations, but its time to look ahead to Lent.

I've got a couople of articles going for Mardi Gras and Ash Wednesday which I've just recreated from last year's articles. Anything that should be different? I still need to work up some graphics for the Lent theme.

These articles aren't "published" yet, but i think you should still have access to them through these links:

Let me know what you think.

Best,

Phil

Thank Phil! They look good to me...last year we had the labyrinth outside, and I loved that. Does anyone remember that not working? Of course, rain could be possible...but then we could just have a rain location.

If you write me on a Monday, know that it's my sabbath! The day I turn out the "lights," to better see the stars.

yes, you’re right, we did do it outside last year. I can change that and suggest an “indoor” alternative if it rains. personally I think Hall of Entrance works best for that if it is available.

just noticing that Jason has both the Pillar Room and Loper Chapel for an event on Mardi Gras night and there isn’t a reservation yet for Ash Wednesday which would overlap with Open Chapel. might be good to work out those logistical details.

Yikes! Thanks for noticing about the room conflict for Mardi Gras . . . Hmm. . . definitely need to figure that out. …
