Learn about Episcopal Church, Anglican spiritual tradition Wednesdays On Wednesdays at 5 p.m. there will be a class on Christianity as seen through the faith of the Anglican spiri- tual tradition. St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, which is Episcopal, is a member of the worldwide Anglican Communion. The Anglican Communion shares the Celtic Christian focus on God’s creation as holy and living and continuing. It also shares the Roman and Orthodox focus on the liturgy (life of prayer of all the peo- ple), on Sunday and through- out the week, as a way of cele- brating the presence of the liv- ing God in Jesus Christ. The Episcopal Church’s Sunday and weekday worship services have four scripture readings, from the Old Testament, Book of Psalms, Letters of the early church, and Gospels. It uses the Nicene Creed as a summary of Christian faith, and a catechism as a series of questions and answers about how to live that faith out. Classes take place in the library at the back of the church. For more information, call the church at 541-997-6600, or Mother Georgia DuBose at 541-503-5549.

The burn season will begin Sunday, Nov. 1. According to the Lane County Fire Defense Board, the burn season opening is postponed due to continued wildfire danger. SVFR Fire Marshal Sean Barrett said, “In the last week Oregon Department of Forestry has responded to sev- eral wildfires in Lane County. One was estimated at 15 acres.” Recently, SVFR adopted the Oregon Fire Code and now requires a permitting process for open burning. As a way to educate the public and keep track of open burns, SVFR is initiating a free burn permit program. The permit program will be in conjunction with the Lane Regional Air Protection Agency (LRAPA). LRAPA has rules and regu- lations for the open burn sea- son that usually runs October 1 through June 15 of each year. The dates change due to fire conditions. This year, no fires are allowed until Nov. 1. “This is the first year of the program,” said Barrett. “We are making this an education- al program rather than a puni- tive one.” Should there be an occa- sion that enforcement is required, SVFR will refer the issue to LRAPA. Barrett said that there is no open burning allowed in the Florence City limits. All open burns will require a burn permit. Burn permits are now available to the public for those that live outside of the city limits. The burn permits are valid for the entire burn season. Each permit has informa- tion on what can be burned and who to call to confirm each appropriate burn day. The permits are available online at www.svfr.org, the main fire station at 2625 Highway 101, at the Heceta Water PUD office and Dunes City Hall. HIT THAT LIKE BUTTON! F ACEBOOK .
