Sanctuary Open This Sunday Afternoon
Each Sunday in Lent, the church will be open from 12:00 - 5:00 p.m. for prayer and communion. Please enter the church and find a seat for silent prayer, wearing a mask and maintaining social distance from others. As you come in, or at any point, you are welcome to approach the altar one at a time for Holy Communion, if you wish. Please limit your visit to 15 minutes. We hope your time in the church helps to open you more completely to
the love of God who is always with you. We appreciate your
compliance with this method and flow of receiving ashes and
communion, as we seek to keep our whole community safe.

Discovering Deeper Rhythms
Lent 2021
In these days of constant change and chatter, as we jump to stay connected and not scattered, the steady drumbeat of Love can seem like a distant thought or childish laughter.
Still, we pray...
"Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me."
As we approach the season of Lent please consider how one of these opportunities might help you rediscover the divine rhythm that fills all hearts with the splendor of the Resurrection.
Gatherings from Thursday, February 18 - Friday, March 26
