This year, March 2nd is Ash Wednesday which brings us into the season of Lent.  The season of Lent is a 40 day journey toward Easter - which falls on April 17th (if you notice that there are actually 47 days between Ash Wednesday and Easter, it’s because we don’t count Sundays - Sundays are always celebrations of the resurrection).  During this journey we are invited to prepare ourselves for the gift of resurrection and rebirth by reflecting on our baptism.  It is a wonderful time to try out a new spiritual discipline - meditation, a new prayer style (prayer journal, coloring prayer, lectio divina, labyrinth walking), tithing, or Sabbath keeping.  One wonderful Lenten practice is mid-week worship.  Throughout Lent you are invited to the Holden Evening Prayer service every Wednesday at 6:30pm.

On Sundays during this season, we will be continuing our journey through the Gospel of John.  Here are the scripture readings for Sundays in the month of March:

  • March 6      "Jesus Raises Lazarus"     John 11:1-44
  • March 13    "Jesus Washes Feed"        John 13:1-17
  • March 20    "Peter's Denial"                John 18:12-27
  • March 27    "Jesus and Pilate"             John 18:28-40
