Joshua Lawrence Lazard preaching Holy Communion 6th Sunday in Lent, March 24: Palm Sunday, FLOCK All-Ages Service Lent is a season of spiritual vitality and renewal. It is a time to move past some of life’s daily distractions and difficulties to draw near to the sacred. It is a gift of 40 days to seek the Holy Spirit’s presence with more intentionality and creativity as we follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Through the journey of these days―through silence, reflection, contemplation, listening, questioning, singing―through giving up or taking on―it is our prayer that your mind, body, and spirit would find restoration, revitalization, and renewal in the foundational love of God.
Lent is for the Birds! Join us this season as we try something new and different. As we journey through the wilderness with Jesus to grow closer to God in community, we will pause―to notice, listen to, and learn from the birds. Winged aviators are filled with wisdom and frequently make appearances in our Scriptures. Join us weekly as we engage our texts and lives to see how the Spirit might be inviting us to become a bit more bird-powerful as we focus on: Flight, Sight, Nest, Migrate, Call, and Flock. Join us in-person or online via Zoom Sunday mornings, on Ash Wednesday, and for Holy Week. Our Spring Equinox Evensong will be in-person only.
