Events

Much like an Advent calendar, this Lenten calendar invites you to “open a digital door” each day.  Behind it you will find a scripture, prayer, or a Lenten practice to engage in that day.

(*Notes at bottom if you have any trouble! This is best viewed on a computer or tablet.)

Notes:

• Days are not in order on purpose, like an advent calendar. Scroll until you see the lowest # & start there. The doors you’ve already done will show those practices instead of the purple door.
• It will only allow you to open through today, so if you start late or get behind, you can click on lowest # until you can’t! You don’t need to know what day of lent it is in order to use this. 
• When you click (or double click for some) on a door, it will open a pop-up with that day’s practice. On certain devices you have to scroll back to the top to see it.
• If  you don’t see a pop-up, sometimes you have to scroll down & it may show where you need to ‘accept all cookies’ first which is how it will gray out the days you’ve viewed previously.
• And forgive the reindeer, this is a spin off an advent calendar, but it’s very fitting as we begin Lent this year with the snow.

Ash Wednesday begins our season of Lent, a time when we journey with Jesus towards his death and resurrection.

This year, Ash Wednesday is on March 5^th. We will have a thirty-minute service offered at
12:00pm and 5:30pm in the Sanctuary,
which includes Scripture, music, a brief meditation, and the imposition of ashes. Childcare is available during both services.

*The 5:30 pm service will also be live-streamed
We invite you to join in HERE on Vimeo
and here is the Ash Wednesday Bulletin

For those who cannot join us for one of the services, you are invited to stop by the church office (off Stafford Place) between
8:30am-11:30am and 1:30pm-5:00pm
to receive “ashes on the go”- a brief blessing and imposition of ashes.

We look forward to seeing you as we begin the journey of Lent together.

Committing to walk with Jesus begins with first admitting that we are lifeless dust, that we cannot live as God desires us to without him, and then in that spirit, taking the needs of a dusty, fractured world to the cross awaiting the transformation that God brings through the Resurrection. New life emerges from death, rising from the ashes of the old life.

Blue Christmas Service

Sunday, November 29 at 6pm (Zoom)

There is a tradition in Western Christianity of people coming together during Advent, when there are more hours of darkness than light, to pray and lament and mourn the losses of the year.  2020 has brought with it more loss than we ever expected. Loss of family and friends to sickness, loss of dreams, loss of community, loss of jobs, so much loss.  Lamenting such losses to God is part of our tradition, scripture is full of people calling out to God in anguish and with tears.  So this year, we will come together to engage in the ritual of lament together. We will share anguish, plead with God to remember us, pray for justice and restoration, even to hope against hope, through our doubts and tears and fears, that “God will set things right all over the earth (2 Sam. 2:10).”
