St. Joe's used to have coffee hour between the 8:00 a.m. and 10:15 Masses, but now that we only have the 9:30 Mass, no more coffee. (Hmm.) My church in Los Angeles, St. Ambrose, had coffee hour, too. And my church in Alexandria, Blessed Sacrament, had a very active "Single Adults" group... not that it did me any good.Ellen Clair Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14944288413332520719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778441.post-1141261574845428612006-03-01T20:06:00.000-05:002006-03-01T20:06:00.000-05:00Jenn's a Methodist and she gives up stuff for Lent...Jenn's a Methodist and she gives up stuff for Lent. What gives? It's still odd to me that I don't go to church on the holy days now that I started going to the Baptist church with Tarren. What do all these differences really mean? Am I shallow because I love that my new church has coffee hour after the service, something no Catholic church I ever went to did? Have I sold my soul for some Green Mountain brew and a date bar?Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12456184183366511681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778441.post-1141229015887807742006-03-01T11:03:00.000-05:002006-03-01T11:03:00.000-05:00Growing up as a Protestant, I was always a bit bem...Growing up as a Protestant, I was always a bit bemused by Ash Wednesday. We didn't do the smudges or the self-denial of chocolate that our Catholic friends did for Lent. Tonight I'm going to my first Ash Wednesday service -- and I'm frankly excited to find out what Congregationalists make of it. I like what your priest said about Life. I'll carry that with me tonight...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
