April is fast approaching

April is almost here, although I wouldn't know with this weather. It's cold and rainy. But the house is full. The garden is becaming a place of growth. And things are looking hopefull. They at least feel hopefull.

And of course it's Tuesday, which mean our house is open tonight from 5pm to 7:30pm for litergy service. Tonight Peter Roderick will be giving the service. Doors open at 5pm with freshly made coffee and day old pastries from Starbucks. The room will be filled with people from all different walks of life. The service will begin at 5:30pm and afterwards we will have a free meal for everyone. If you can't come this Tuesday make it a plan to come one of these Tuesday (apparently they occure once a week). And meet some of the folks who choose to worship, eat, and be merry at Guadalupe House on Tuesday nights.

Happy March!

Time sure does fly in the house...
