Christian Formation this Lent |
|
Compline is a short, contemplative service that dates back to the 4th Century. A series of bedtime prayers, Compline is a simple office so that it could be said by monks as they laid in their beds in the dark, as to preserve their candles.
Our Seminarian Sarah Minton will be offering Zoom Compline every Thursday in Lent at 8 p.m. Mark your calendar and join Sarah HERE (Passcode: g8FnmN) for the oldest prayers in our prayer book!

Book Study:
Celebration of Discipline

This Lenten season, discover the many spiritual disciplines of our tradition and how they can bring us closer to God.
We'll be meeting via Zoom every Sunday morning at 9 a.m. to discuss a few chapters of this well loved book. Purchase your copy today, or email/call the Church Office if you need assistance.
This Sunday, we'll be covering Prayer through Fasting. Even if you don't make it that far, join us anyway!

Join Mtr. Lisa every Wednesday at Noon to learn how to pray through the Lenten season with Anglican Prayer Beads.
We'll be using the same book we began in the Advent season (which you can purchase here) and Mtr. Lisa will bring copies of that week's prayers for those of you who just want to try out this form of prayer.
Please bring your own prayer beads! An inexpensive set can be found here or you can contact the Church Office for assistance.

Everyone has heard of March Madness, but have you heard of Lent Madness? The format is straightforward: 32 saints are placed into a tournament-like single elimination bracket. Every few days, a short bio or weird information about each saint will be posted online. Each pairing remains open for a set period of time and people from all over the world vote on who should win the Golden Halo!
And you can play along at home! Check out the daily match up and vote for your favorites!
Only one saint will win the coveted Golden Halo! Who will it be this year?
