Piety Hill Musings

The ramblings of the 43 year old Rector of St. John's Episcopal Church of Detroit. Piety Hill refers to the old name for our neighborhood. The neighborhood has changed a great deal in 150 years (but not our traditional biblical theology) and it is now known for the neighboring theatres and the new pro baseball and football stadiums behind our 1859 Chapel and 1861 Church.

Ash Wednesday

At St. John's we will have two opportunities for worship on Ash Wednesday: 12:15pm and 7pm. Both services will be in the Chapel. Enter on the Freeway Service Drive side of the building.

Collect for Ash Wednesday (to be said daily in Lent)
Almighty and everlasting God, who hatest nothing that thou has made, and dost forgive the sins of all those who are penitent: create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of thee, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
