Lent is a season of prayer and quiet reflection, beginning with Ash Wednesday. Much like the soil outside, the ground of the heart lies fallow, while being prepared to receive the seed of God’s word. We begin with ashes, remembering our mortality and the faithfulness of God. Lent is a season of longing and waiting - for growth, for flourishing, for new life.
In worship on the Sundays during Lent, we will touch rocks and sand, soil and water, and pray with them. We will reflect on the gifts of light and growth, and we will get our hands in the dirt, putting seeds in the ground - awaiting the day when we sing together, Now the Green Blade Rises.
During Holy Week, we will gather for a meal on Maundy Thusday, to celebrate the beautiful gift of the Lord’s Supper “on the night when he was betrayed.”
Throughout the Lenten season, we will send “flowers” to your inbox (you may simply subscribe by scrolling to the bottom of this page and adding your email to our distribution list): Each day, a question, idea, quote, or prayer will drop into our inbox, encouraging you to “consider the lilies” as well as the tulips, snowdrops, forget-me-nots, and…
On Easter Sunday, we will gather for worship in a sanctuary filled with flowers, surrounded by signs of new life, and sing our praise to God whose love has conquered the power of death. Let’s wrap the cross with hundreds of blooms!
