3 A special note from Fr. Filmore: here is a suggested movie and way to support our friends at King of Kings Anglican Church, as well as a powerful Lenten message. Join King of Kings on Thursday, February 11 at 7:30pm at Regal Manor Twin for Many Beautiful Things, an acclaimed documentary on the life of Victorian artist and missionary Lilias Trotter. Featuring Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey) as the voice of Lilias Trotter, the film explores Trotter's life, art, and why her legacy was nearly lost to history. Trotter's story is one that pushes the limits of beauty, sacrifice, and the question of calling in one's life, a perfect inspirational start to the Lenten season. Reserve tickets by Feb 2nd at ManyBeautifulThings.com/screenings. Trailer: Office Information Contribution statements were mailed today. If you have any questions regarding your statement, please contact Judy Rowe at or judy@allsaintscharlotte.com. ****************************************************** ASH WEDNESDAY and HOLY WEEK 2016 Ash Wednesday Service, February 10, 7:00PM (at CCHS) Maundy Thursday Service, March 24, 7:00PM (at CCHS) Good Friday 3 Hour Meditation, March 25, 12Noon 3:00PM (Church Office, 1312 Matthews Mint Hill Road, Matthews) Good Friday Service, March 25, 7:00PM (at CCHS) Holy Saturday, March 26, 7:00PM (at CCHS) Easter Sunday, March 27, 7:00AM (at CCHS) Easter Sunday, March 27, 10:00AM Service (Park Road Park with potluck lunch) CCHS Charlotte Catholic High School (7702 Pineville-Matthews Road, Charlotte NC 28226)
