Film Screening: Chocolat
Feeling a little mysterious? Join us in Hauser Hall to watch the film Chocolat. Afterwards there will be light refreshments and a discussion.
A synopsis of the film:
When mysterious Vianne and her child arrive in a tranquil French town in the winter of 1959, no one could have imagined the impact that she and her spirited daughter would have on the community stubbornly rooted in tradition. Within days, she opens an unusual chocolate shop, across the square from the church. Her ability to perceive her customers' desires and satisfy them with just the right confection, coaxes the villagers to abandon themselves to temptation -- just as Lent begins.
ECW August Gathering
The Rev. Mary Frances Curns of St. Anne’s, Jacksonville, presents "Praying with the Hymns." It is a prayer practice that allows for the participants to 'hear' what God is stirring up in them and to reflect on their own personal lives to find the connections to healing, comfort, challenges, forgiveness etc. It requires participation only if you feel led to do so.
Our schedule for the day will be as follows:
9:00 Registration
9:45 Assembly Begins
11:30 Holy Eucharist
12:30 Lunch
The cost for refreshments, lunch, and the use of Trinity Center facilities is $18.00 per person. Please send checks made out to “ECW Diocese of East Carolina” along with the names of all persons attending to:
