The Season of Lent

On Wednesday, February 22nd, we begin the Season of Lent. The first Christians observed
with great devotion the days of our Lord's passion (Good Friday) and resurrection (Easter),
and it became the custom of the Church to prepare for these holy days
​by a season of penitence and fasting.

​
Lent is traditionally marked by acts of special devotion: prayer, fasting,
self-examination and repentance, spiritual reading, and alms giving.

​We are providing optional acts of devotion to help you keep the season holy:



Prayer and Study
​
  •   Wednesday Morning Prayer and Bible Study  
              Consider joining us on Wednesday morning - you may request the Zoom link from Rev. Roger.
  •   Labyrinth Walk 
​              The Labyrinth is a spiritual tool and can be walked as a pilgrimage for repentance:
              a shedding of worries and concerns; reaching a place of meditation and prayer;
              and finding union with God and the healing forces at work in the world. 
​              Come to walk on your own; brochures of guidance will be provided.

​            Saturday, March 18th from 10am-2pm in Nale Hall 

Labyrinth Guide
​
  •   Stations of the Cross  
               For your private devotion, you are invited to walk the steps of Jesus on his journey to the cross; 
             Stations​ of the Cross Booklet

Fasting 
  • Self-Examination
            Through self-examination, you may discern and consider fasting
            from those 
things that are holding you back from being
​            an example by word and deed of God’s love.
Fasting Tips

​Alms-Giving
  • 40 Days – 40 Items
            Please consider giving of your excess in order to clothe those who go without. 
            See the table in the narthex or the article in our E-Newsletter for details. 
            If you wish to have clothing collection bags sent to you, contact Maria in the church office.
