Mark your calendar as a reminder that during Lent, Evening Prayer is said corporately in Furness Chapel at 6:30 p.m. from Monday through Thursday.
On Tuesdays, it is preceded by Contemplative Prayer at 5:45 p.m., and is followed immediately by a celebration of the Holy Eucharist.
The Dream of God: A Call to Return, Verna Dozier’s wonderful introduction to the Bible, lay ministry, and the Church’s role in social justice will be this year’s Lenten book. Dozier is an African American lay Episcopal theologian and biblical scholar whose solid and accessible work deserves a wider audience as we prepare today for tomorrow’s Church.
We’ll discuss one chapter a week on Tuesday evenings in Lent from 7 to 8 p.m. Check the weekly bulletin for information about obtaining a copy of the book.
Each Sunday in Lent there will be a discussion of “Future Church: The Challenges and Possibilities for Mission,” from 10 to 10:45 a.m. between services. The conversations will be facilitated by our seminarians, Daniel Smith and Joey Klinger.
The season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 10 this year.
The liturgy for the day with imposition of ashes will be held at 12:10 p.m., and again at 7 p.m. with hymns and choir.
On February 9, the evening before Ash Wednesday, we’ll be serving a traditional Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper from 6 to 7 p.m. in the Parish Hall downstairs. Volunteer pancake flippers and servers are always needed and welcome. A $5 donation is suggested.
