TNL "Ash Wednesday" Edition (IX)

TNL:  The "Ash Wednesday" Edition (IX) gets underway at noon tomorrow:

Sybil Hopper Room
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
1114 W. University Dr.
Denton, Texas  76201
Phone:  940-387-3894

We'll enjoy Greek gyros (is the plural "gyroi"?)  The presentation includes:

FOR THE SPIRIT:  An Ash Wednesday Litany
FOR THE MIND:  A New Look at the Old Testament
FOR THE BODY:  Lent and the Scent of A Man

Ashes will be available for imposition -- if your wish to receive them.  (The thought occurred to me that Ash Wednesday ashes MAY generate more looks than the omnipresent tattoos!)

See you tomorrow, and a blessed Lent to you and yours!

Your Scribe,
PRDunklau
