Chrism Service 2010

Tuesday, March 30, 2010, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

As part of a deep and meaningful Lenten journey, Bishop Claire Burkat invites you to our Southeastern Pennsylvania Synod Chrism Service.  On Tuesday of Holy Week, it is our tradition to gather for a service of Word and Sacrament, for blessing of oil, and renewal of ministry vows.  The Chrism Service is a time for pastors, associates in ministry, deaconesses, and diaconal ministers to revisit and renew promises made at ordination/commissioning/consecration, and blessings for congregational deacons to honor their local ministries.  It’s also a time to worship our Lord and be strengthened and renewed as we prepare to lead the faithful to the Cross and Resurrection.  This year we will gather at St. Paul’s, Olney, on March 30, 2010 at 10:00 a.m.
