The Niche Liturgy of Anointing Oil in Moneta
The tradition of anointing with oil is often referred in the Old and New Testaments.
And it's alive and well at Trinity Ecumenical Parish in Moneta, where the practice is followed four times a year.
The next anointing service is scheduled on Sunday, June 29, at 3 p.m.
You needn't be a member or even baptized, said the Rev. Gary Scheidt.
And you won't have oil poured over year; there's just a dab on the forehead in the shape of a cross, similar to the rite of Ash Wednesday.
For more information call the church at 721-4330.
