Join us in the Observance of a Holy Lent
Lenten Weekly Schedule
Sundays
HODOS: Lenten Small Groups (Adult Discipleship)
10:15 am (between services) in Michie Hall
March 9 - April 6
Join a 5-week small group during Lent to reflect on Lenten worship and scriptures, share where you’ve encountered God, and journey deeper in faith (hodos is greek for journey or "the way"). Open to all—whether new to faith or walking this path for years.
Tuesdays
Morning Prayer
7:45 am at the Garden Chapel
March 11 - April 8
Mid-week Morning Prayer according to The Book of Common Prayer. Morning Prayer is a wonderful service to center your week and reconnect with God. The service will be at our beautiful Garden Chapel, and will last about 30 minutes. In case of inclement weather, we’ll meet in the Great Hall.
Wednesdays
Dinner & Discipleship: Seculosity
6:30 pm in Michie Hall
March 12 - April 9
Explore the modern “gods” we unconsciously worship and how to refocus on Christ. Join Deacon Erica for a soup supper, presentations, and discussions based on David Zahl’s Seculosity.
Fridays
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
12 noon in the Great Hall
March 7 - April 11
An hour-long space for quiet individual prayer before the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ in the sacrament. Because it is individual prayer, you can come anytime in the hour and stay for as long or as short a time as you desire. For those who have never participated in this devotional practice, resources will be available to help guide your prayers and thoughts in the presence of our Lord.
What is Lent?
It was the practice of Early Christians to observe “a season of penitence and fasting” in order to prepare for Easter. This season has become known as Lent. Lent is forty days long, not counting Sundays, extending from Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, through Holy Saturday, the day before Easter.
You are invited “to the observance of a holy Lent, by self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self-denial; and by reading and meditating on God's holy Word.”
Stations of the Cross
An Audio Devotion
Early Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land often made it a practice to visit the places of Jesus' Passion. Stations of the Cross imitates this practice and is a popular devotion, frequently participated in during Lent.
The liturgy for The Way of the Cross can be found here.
This audio devotion is adapted from The Way of the Cross from The Book of Occasional Services with special station descriptions written and voiced by Ginny Lamoureux. Originally aired as an episode of the podcast St. Andrew's Present, it has been rehosted for the use of all.
Stations of the Cross was produced by Tim Jenkins. Special thanks to Carolyn, Michael, and Joshua Nicketta, Tracy Hutchinson, Laura and Syd Verinder, Stephanie Jenkins, David and Ginny Lamoureux, and the Rev. Deacon Pam Fairley for lending their voices to this project.
Songs featured in this production are “Now is the Time to Leave” by August Wilhelmsson, “Tomorrow’s Rain” by Hushed, and “Growing Love” by Josef Bel Habib.
