Observing a Holy Lent
Almighty and everlasting God, you hate nothing you have made and forgive the sins of all who are penitent: Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of you, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

For families (and anyone else!) this Lent we’ll be using a curriculum from GenOn Ministries which seeks to engage the senses: “See. Taste. Hear. Smell. Touch. Give.” The short weekly guide will be provided in Chimes and Sunday Scoop each week, and will walk individuals and families through a brief reading from Psalms, an activity, and a prayer.
Exploring the Scriptures through digging into the preaching: Each Sunday in LENT, our Sunday preacher will be available for your questions and comments. At 12:30pm each Sunday, a ZOOM session will be available for all of us to help us all understand more clearly.

The Great Litany
One of the traditional prayers used in Lent is The Great Litany (found on BCP page 148). It is an all-encompassing prayer that is often prayed on Wednesdays or Fridays in Lent and the first Sunday. Typically chanted, the Old Donation worship team for streaming has recorded it for your usage for whenever it fits your pattern for prayer. 
Daily Micro-practices

This year, we are including a nice devotional booklet for adults and families. These are small, easy-to-do micro-practices that will enhance your mindfulness and enable you to experience Lent.
