The Bach's Lunch series is (Bach) by popular demand! Bring a box lunch and some friends with you. The Bach's Lunches are a wonderful time for Lenten reflection and good music among friends. Held at various churches in Amarillo and Canyon on selected Fridays during Lent, each program will begin promptly at 12:05 p.m. with a 25-minute organ recital. Following the recital, if allowed, the host church will provide tea, coffee, and a place to eat. You'll have plenty of time to get (Bach) to work by 1 p.m. Friday, March 21 @ St. Ann's Catholic Church; Dr. Elizabeth McKee, Organist Johann Sebastian Bach's 340th birthday!

If you are a Catholic who has been away from the Church, know that we have missed you! One way to explore returning to active participation in the Church is through the Landings program here with our church community. Landings is an eight-week program that offers a "safe place to land," a place for listening and for being heard, a place for asking questions and for reconnecting with the faith as an adult. We begin our next session at St. Ann's starting soon.
