Join us Wednesdays in Lent (2/25 - 4/1) for a service of Stations of the Cross (in our worship space) followed by a soup supper and Lenten study in our parish hall (basement). Come for part or all of the evening.
This Lenten Journey we will read and study the book "Signs of Life: Nurturing Spiritual Growth in your Church" by Jay Sidebotham. An accompanying Study Guide will be provided to each attendee. All are welcome. No prerequisite reading is required but is available if you desire.
Ash Wednesday is the beginning of Lent, our journey with Jesus to the cross, his crucifixion, death, and resurrection. It marks a time set aside to be present to and to resist some of the temptations of life that draw us away from our love for and relationship with our Savior.
Join us on his Holy Day to remember our many sins and weaknesses, to confess them, and to begin our own personal journeys through the Lenten season. All are welcome. Ashes will be imposed, if desired. Holy Eucharist will be celebrated.
Join us on Tuesday, February 3, 2026 at 6 p.m. for a delicious free meal of pancake, sausage, and desserts. This meal aligns with our annual celebration of "Shrove Tuesday".
The word "shrove" or "shrive" means to confess your sins and be offered absolution by a priest and is done the day before Ash Wednesday, when Lent begins. It is customary to splurge on Shrove Tuesday (aka Fat Tuesday) before entering into your Lenten practices (the next day). Believers would empty your cabinets of indulgences like sugar and butter and use them up in making pancakes (or King cakes or ???).
You don't have to do any of that. But please DO join us for pancakes and sausage on this Community Meal day!
