Current Offerings: Lent 2024

Godly Play

Godly Play, a Montessori-based approach to teaching the stories of our faith, is offered each Sunday morning in the St. Luke Room (second floor, above the Parish Hall) at 9:00AM.  During the season of Lent, we will be exploring a series entitled, “Faces of Easter,” as we prepare to celebrate the joy of resurrection.

Parents are welcome to remain with their children or join the Rector’s Forum across the hall in the Barrett Room.

 

The Rector’s Forum

During the season of Lent, the Rector’s Forum will explore a study based on Hilary Raining’s book, Joy in Confession: Reclaiming Sacramental Reconciliation.

We will begin with some introduction to the rites for Reconciliation in our Book of Common Prayer and continue with a deeper theological exploration of sin, shame, forgiveness, and joy.

We gather each Sunday morning at 9:00AM in the Barrett Room (second floor, above the Parish Hall).  Grab a cup of coffee and join us!

Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury, presents the Gospel accounts of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection as viewed through the eyes of those who witnessed them. 

The Sign and the Sacrifice explores the meaning of the cross and the significance of Christ's resurrection, discussing what these events meant to Jesus' followers in the early years and what they can say to us today.

We’ll break our conversation into two sessions, one in the second week and another in the fifth week of the season of Lent. Join us for conversation, either in-person (in the Barrett Room) or online.

Copies of the book are available in the parish office for a suggested donation of $10.00. It is also available online from a variety of booksellers.

 

Centering Payer

Lindsey Herring, Christian Formation Director, will be offering an introduction to Centering Prayer, a contemplative spiritual practice that allows us to quiet the heart and rest in God’s presence during Lent, beginning at 4:30PM on Wednesdays.  Evening Prayer follows at 5:15PM.
