LENT

Lent is the “liturgical season” of 40 days between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday.  As Christians we observe this season in a variety of ways.  Lent is a time for reflection on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.  One may commit some additional time each day in prayer, in meditation on scripture, and some may choose to engage in fasting.  The whole idea of fasting is to abstain from something in order to use that time and energy to focus on what God is doing.  One may fast for one meal or an entire day. One may choose to fast instead from media – time on in the computer/Facebook/texting or games on ones’ phone, etc. The purpose of all of these spiritual disciplines is help us FOCUS!

LENTEN SOUP SUPpERS

Lenten Soup Supper reflections, starting on February 22nd  at 6:00 p.m.  Each Wednesday evening, following the Soup Supper we will have a time of reflection, scripture and prayer.  

The Lenten Sunday Series is based on "The Church Cracked Open" by Rev. Stephanie Spellers.

ash wednesday

The Ash Wednesday Service will be held after the Soup Supper on Wednesday, February 22nd.  
Sometimes it takes disruption and loss to break us open and call us home to God. It’s not surprising that a global pandemic and once-in-a-generation reckoning with white supremacy—on top of decades of systemic decline—have spurred Christians everywhere to ask who we are, why God placed us here and what difference that makes to the world. In this critical yet loving book, the author explores the American story and the Episcopal story in order to find out how communities steeped in racism, establishment, and privilege can at last fall in love with Jesus, walk humbly with the most vulnerable and embody beloved community in our own broken but beautiful way. The Church Cracked Open invites us to surrender privilege and redefine church, not just for the sake of others, but for our own salvation and liberation.
