Make me to know your ways, O LORD; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all day long. Be mindful of your mercy, O LORD, and of your steadfast love, for they have been from of old. - from Psalm 25
2 0 1 6 L E N T E N W O R S H I P C A L E N DA R Easter is the highest holy day of the Christian faith, but to celebrate it in a vacuum, without immersion in all that comes before the resurrection, robs the day of its true significance. Lent can be a hard sell for many of us, with its intentional solemnity and encouragement toward self denial. Yet others find it to be the most meaningful time of the year - the most honest time of year, when we wrestle with the hard things of life and walk with Jesus through the darkest days of his life as well. (from the introduction of Feasting on the Word: Lenten Companion)
L E N T E N P R AY E R G AT H E R I N G S TUESDAYS in Lent 2/16, 2/23, 3/1, 3/8, 3/15, 3/22 @ 5 P.M. “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” - Matthew 11:28-30 Our Advent prayer services were a huge success and, therefore, we will do something similar during the season of Lent. All are invited to join us on the Tuesdays mentioned above at 5:00 P.M. for a casual, contemplative 30-minute prayer service.
