OUR FOCUS FOR THIS LENT: LOVE CASTS OUT FEAR

There are many examples of ongoing trauma besetting our world.  The Christians whose stories we’ve lifted up on Sundays during Lent—St. Patrick (3/16); St. Oscar Romero (3/23); Harriet Tubman & Sojourner Truth (3/30); and Dietrich Bonhoeffer (4/6)—refused to allow fear to control or silence them.  These ordinary people became extraordinary witnesses, telling the truth, breaking down barriers, challenging the status quo, and putting their own lives at risk while leading others to freedom.  They embody the saying, “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.” 1 John 4:18

Our series of five Lenten Wednesday Soup/Suppers followed by Evening Prayer begins tonight.

  • The soup/bread meal is served beginning at 6pm. 
  • The 30 minute service of Evening Prayer begins at 7pm.

 Come as you are—to either or to both.

 

This year we’re introducing the new BLESS THIS NIGHT Vespers as the liturgy we’ll use through these five Wednesday gatherings.  It was birthed by the Holden Winter community in 2023.  Along with the sung liturgy, we’ll be exploring the Parable of the Two Sons and their Father from Luke 15.

Looking forward to breaking bread with you.

These forty days called Lent are like no other. It is our opportune time to return to the God who accompanies us in all we face, to receive the gifts of God’s grace, to believe with the heart and confess with the mouth the wonder of God’s love in Jesus, and to resist temptation at every turn. This is no small pilgrimage on which we have just embarked. It is a struggle Jesus knew. It is a struggle Jesus shares. The nearness of Christ, in bread and wine, water and word, sustains us.

Our Pass the Hat Partner for March is Compass Housing Alliance. Today Christopher Ross, President, will be with us to give us an update. Rev. Kristy Daniels will be our guest preacher.

Bulletin cover Ash WednesdayOn March 5th we cross the threshold into LENT.

We invite you to join us for our Ash Wednesday Service at 7:00pm.  

On Ash Wednesday we begin our forty-day journey with Christ toward the cross and empty tomb.  Marking our foreheads with ash, we acknowledge that we are destined to die and return to the Earth. At the same time, the ash traces the life-giving cross indelibly marked on our foreheads at baptism, reminding us we are God’s beloveds. While we journey together through this season, our relationship with God through the covenant of baptism is renewed. Returning to our baptismal call, we are set free to more intentionally bear the fruits of mercy and justice in the world.

Holy Communion will be celebrated at this service.  Christ, our Host, meets us in this meal of grace and offers himself,  fully embodied, in the bread and wine.  He invites all to come and meet him in this Holy Meal.

This service will also be Live Streamed. To tune into the YouTube broadcast of this service at 7pm, click HERE.
