In the season of Lent, we enter into a forty-day fast that Jesus undertook in the wilderness. Through this dedicated period of self-examination, we allow God to further shape us into the image of Jesus. We also align our hearts with the suffering of Jesus as we move ever closer towards Holy Week and the event of the Crucifixion. The season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday, when we receive the imposition of ashes and are reminded that we are but dust, and to dust we shall return, and ends on the joyous morning of Easter, when we celebrate in Christ's resurrection.

Wednesday, March 2 marks the beginning of the Lenten Journey to Christ’s death and resurrection. As we begin this time of reflection and penitence, we invite you to join us for a Taizé-style worship service in our Chapel at 7:00 PM, which will offer communion and the imposition of ashes. Taizé worship is a contemplative service centered around music, prayer, and silence, to quiet the mind, open the heart, and feed the soul. It is a simple, meditative form of worship, calling us to dwell deeply on Christ's presence around and within us.
