Upcoming at Faith: Lent at Faith
The season of Lent is almost upon us! After a very busy first month trying to find my feet in this place, I’m excited to settle into a rhythm of study and worship during this holy season.
People often think of Lent as a time to give something up, but it can be much more fruitful to use it as an opportunity to take on a new practice or make some new commitment to engage more deeply in the life of our faith. We have a lot going on during this season, so browse our offerings below and consider trying something new as we begin our journey toward the cross—and beyond.
Here’s what to look for in the weeks ahead:
Morning Prayer, weekdays, 7:30–8:00 AM on Facebook Live
Join me in deepening your prayer practice with the Daily Office in Lent as we pray Morning Prayer together. Even if you’re not on Facebook, you can watch and pray along at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555943074111 . If you are on Facebook, feel free to leave prayer requests in the comments.
Lectionary Bible Study, Tuesday evenings, 6:30–7:30, on Zoom
Each Tuesday evening, we gather on Zoom and discuss the lectionary readings for the upcoming Sunday. This is a great way to get deeper into the texts we hear on Sunday morning and explore aspects that I can’t fit into my sermons! We also end each session with a brief discussion of hymns for the service. Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83791197290
(Please note there will not be Lectionary Bible Study on Shrove Tuesday, March 5th)
Centering and Welcoming Prayer, Wednesday mornings, 9:30–10:30, Parish Hall
Centering and Welcoming Prayer offers an opportunity to sink deep into your relationship with Spirit. Sylvia Sepulveda leads this weekly group.
Walk in Love Study series, Wednesday evenings (starting March 12th) at 6:30, on Zoom
Walk in Love: Episcopal Beliefs & Practices is a wonderful book by Scott Gunn and Melody Wilson Shobe. While I commend the book to you, for this season of study we’re going to watch and discuss a series of videos made by the authors giving a high-level overview of the basics of what it means to be an Episcopalian.
Session 1 (March 12): The Sacramental Journey—Zoom link https://us06web.zoom.us/j/5450180956?omn=81395327409
Session 2 (March 19): Marking Time
Session 3 (March 26): Basic Beliefs
Session 4 (April 2): The Church
Session 5 (April 9): The Trinitarian Life
Session 6 (April 16): Questions and Followup
You don’t have to come to all the sessions and there’s no homework in between!
As we draw closer to Holy Week and Easter, watch for more information about our services for Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and the Great Vigil of Easter! And may this coming season of Lent be an opportunity for you to discover new depths of your relationship with God and new depths of resilience and peace within yourself.
