Monday, March 9th:
Saint Alfred's Upcoming Events: Sunday Evening Lenten Compline Lent calls us into a deeper rhythm of prayer, reflection, and spiritual renewal as we prepare for Holy Week and Easter. We invite you to watch our 2026 Lenten Invitation video and enter this sacred season with intention and openness to God’s transforming grace. As a diocesan community, we are committed to walking this journey together, encouraging one another in prayer, repentance, generosity, and hope. In addition, we warmly invite you to join us every Sunday in Lent at 8:00 p.m. for the Office of Compline, a quiet and contemplative service of nighttime prayer. Compline offers a sacred pause at the close of the day, a time to rest in God’s mercy and peace. Sunday Evening Lenten Compline Feb 22, 2026, 08:00 PM Eastern Every week on Sunday, until Mar 29, 2026 Click here to join the Zoom meeting Meeting ID: 889 8928 7750 Passcode: Lent We pray that God will grant us grace and mercy throughout this Lenten season. May our hearts be open to the transforming work of God’s Spirit, that we might walk together in the way that is everlasting. Compline may be found on page 127 in the Book of Common Prayer. Music by Women Composers: "Unsung Heroines: The Undaunted Courage of Women Composers" Wednesday, March 11th 2:00 p.m. @ New Port Richey Library, 5939 Main Street, New Port Richey, FL. Although much less so now, there had been for centuries a widespread belief that musical composition was beyond the purview and capabilities of women. The immensely creative and prolific output of women composers had been glaringly ignored or forgotten, but the 20th and 21st centuries continue to provide a burgeoning and fertile atmosphere for women to compose and publish music, and for it to be performed regularly and enthusiastically in all genres including symphonies, operas, and chamber music. Theresa Villani - Cello, and Kevin Johnson - Piano, will present a program of works by Fanny Mendelssohn, Amy Cheney Beach, Luise Adolpha LeBeau, Rebecca Clarke, Nadia Boulanger, Natalia Timofeyeva, Angela Morley, and Emma Lou Diemer. Theresa will also play two unaccompanied cello works by composers Sue Dellinger and Judith Weir. Lenten Choral Evensong with Theresa Villani on Cello: Please join us on Sunday, March 15th @ 4:00 p.m. at St. Alfred's Episcopal Church, for our Lenten Choral Evensong with Theresa Villani on Cello and directed by Kevin Johnson. St. Alfred’s Parish Choir, under the direction of Organist-Choirmaster Kevin Johnson, will sing a service of Choral Evensong, on Sunday afternoon, March 15, The Fourth Sunday in Lent. The service will include hymns, the evening canticles Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis, a Psalm, sung prayers and an anthem. Prelude and offertory music will be offered by Theresa Villani, cellist. Morning of Prayer: Morning of Prayer will be held on Saturday, March 21st at 9:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. at St. Alfred's Episcopal Church in the Choir Room. Be still and know that I am God.

A new group is forming to study ways God might use poems to reach through the static of daily life to both soothe us and show us a path forward. We will meet on the first and third Fridays of each month at 1:00 p.m. to 2:15 p.m., in the Parish Library. Co-leaders: Fr. Peter, Fr. Dale, and Susan Spear, a local, published poet. It is our intention to share a poem from each session in the following issue of The Banner. We will be using poems about Lent at each of our March gatherings. Come and join us as we begin this new means of growing in our faith. GriefShare Support Group: Help and encouragement after the death of a spouse, child, family member, or friend.
