Great Wednesday night Lenten Eucharist and supper at St. Thomas' Episcopal Church. Monroe's newest Episcopal priest, Fr. Richard Norman, gave a great sermon about the five marks of mission. In case you missed it - here they are from the Episcopal Church's website...
The Five Marks of Mission
The Mission of the Church Is the Mission of Christ
~ To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom
~ To teach, baptize and nurture new believers
~ To respond to human need by loving service
~ To seek to transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind and to pursue peace and reconciliation
~ To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth
