LENT & EASTER 2021
Lent officially starts with Ash Wednesday Online Worship at 6:30PM on February 17. This Lenten season we’ll allow the writings of Mary Oliver, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, to come alongside the words of scripture to help us better see ourselves and see the presence of God all around us. In her poem “Sometimes” Oliver shares this wisdom, which fits perfectly for Lent and this life of faith, “Instructions for living a life: Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.” We have a variety of resources and opportunities to help you explore life and faith this Lenten Season:
Also save these Holy Week dates for later in the Lenten season:
My hope is that the resources and worship opportunities provided room for you to connect and grow in faith throughout this season of Lent.
Grace and Peace, Pastor Nathan
