HOW VIRTUOUS ARE YOU?
In this Lenten time we are going to focus on virtues, those habits of personality which lead us to a life more in keeping with that God intends for us. A few years ago Perspectives of Faith sponsored a popular series on the Seven Deadly Sins, each vice discussed by a minister from our own community. The medieval Christian tradition also recognizes Three Theological and Four Cardinal Virtues. Again we have asked ministers at East to discuss seven character traits to help our Lenten disciple of trying to improve our lives. Join us at 9:15 in the Fellowship Hall.
