Daily Devotions, reflections on scripture, will appear in your inbox each day throughout Lent. Thoughtfully written by parishioners, clergy, and staff, these pieces are meant to give you a meditative moment at the start of your day. They are intended to help you prepare, interpret, and enter into this Lenten season.

In addition to the emails, hard copies of all 47 devotions will be available in the Narthex.

Leading a life that radiates God’s love and promise of peace in a world as divided as ours can be tricky business. Can changing up how we read and utilize scripture make our efforts a little smoother? During Lent, join parishioner Kevin Booker for Reading Glasses, six weeks of reading, reflection, and contemplative prayer designed to creatively equip pilgrims with techniques that can result in a more compassionate and richer relationship with the Bible. The group will focus on Jonathan L. Walton’s A Lens of Love: Reading the Bible in Its World for Our World.

If you are in the discussion group, it meets on six consecutive Sundays beginning March 6 from 4:15-5:30 p.m. in Sunderland Hall. This discussion group is full – but please consider reading it on your own!

The Monastic Heart

Join us in reading The Monastic Heart by Joan Chittister, a new book that talks about spiritual lessons we can get for our own lives by reflecting on the monastic life set forth by St. Benedict.
