Wednesday Evening Lenten Series

Wednesday, March 12, 2025, 6:00 PM

"For just such a time as this..." ~Esther 4:14

An old Chinese curse says, "May you live in interesting times." To say that these times are "interesting" is an understatement! During Lent, we're going to talk about how we might live and grow in the fullness of Christ in these times.

Our series will be based on four areas (Pray, Inform, Gather, and Act) as outlined in Rev. Stephen’s recent letter.

All are invited! Feel free attend as few or as many evenings as you like, and to attend any or all parts of the evening.

Each Wednesday night will follow the same schedule:

• 6 p.m. Eucharist, St. Martin’s Chapel
• 7 p.m. Dinner, Brooks Room
• 7:30-8:30 p.m. Program, Brooks Room

Our topics for each week are as follows:

• Wednesday, March 12: Series Introduction and Hearing from You, led by all four clergy
• Wednesday, March 19: Pray, led by Rev. Patricia
• Wednesday, March 26: Inform, led by Rev. Rose Anne
• Wednesday, April 2: Gather, led by Rev. Gabriel
• Wednesday, April 9: Act, led by Rev. Stephen

RSVP and sign yourself (or your family) up for one or two of the helper slots.* If everyone lends a hand once or twice throughout the series, the evenings will be a lovely opportunity for worship, fellowship, and service!
