Season of Lent
The season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 22, 2023.
This year we have a wonderful resource, INTO THE WILD, available for those of you who would like to go deeper during the season of Lent. It is a family-friendly devotional that includes the artist Henri Matisse on our six week adventure. Within the booklet you’ll find additional links to artwork by Matisse. As the intro to the devotional says, grab your Bible and a pencil (or crayon or paintbrush) and with the words of Scripture and the art of Henri Matisse as our guides, we’ll head into the wild – all the way to the beautiful, joyful love of Easter morning.
You can access the devotional booklet on our Lenten Devotional page.
Ash Wednesday from 9:00 a.m. to noon, the Rev. Dr. David Calhoun will offer the imposition of ashes in Grace Chapel. This is a beautiful way to enter into this reflective season and important time of year in the life of the church.
Ash Wednesday worship service 7:00 p.m. in the sanctuary.
This service marking the beginning of the 40 days of Lent will include a special message and music. We will offer the imposition of ashes for all those who would like to receive them.
