Lent 2024
To make a right beginning of repentance, we are invited in the Ash Wednesday liturgy 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.

LATTES IN LENT
LATTES IN LENT
with Fr. Brad (on Zoom)
begins 2/15
12:00-12:45pm weekdays
ZOOM ID: 814 2417 7027
Beginning February 15, and each weekday thereafter (12-12:45). Bring your lunch, a cup of coffee, or whatever you like, as we pause mid-day from daily routines and casually gather around Evelyn Underhill's book, Lent with Evelyn Underhill, (2006). A time for fellowship and reflection during Lent, we can enjoy this holy season to the fullest in preparation for the Easter season. All are welcome.
ICON IN THE NAVE
Stop in the nave and gaze upon the Lenten icon, The Temptation of Jesus on the Mountain by Duccio Di Buoninsegna (1255-1319). It will be present throughout Lent as a reminder of what Jesus faced . . . what we face in the temptations. Just like Jesus, we strive in Lent to reject finding our identity in security needs (the bread temptation); in affection needs (the jumping off the Temple temptation); and control needs (power over all the nations). And so for a simple but effective discipline this Lent, just stop in your day and breathe; breathe deeply; breathe in YHWH deeply . . . and know who you really are.

Lenten Prayer Resource
For 15 years, Episcopal Relief & Development has been blessed by the opportunity to join readers on their spiritual journeys with thought-provoking meditations. During Lent, we pray, “Create and make in us new and contrite hearts.” ERD's 2024 meditations focus on embracing this new heart, this new life in Christ, and looking deep within ourselves and acting in ways that seek and serve Christ in others.
Visit the ERD website to subscribe to daily emails, download a PDF meditation booklet, read the meditations online, and access a Group Study Guide to reflect on the meditations and Scripture with others.
