Midweek Lenten Evening Prayer
Wednesday, February 21, 28 & March 6, 13, 20
7:00 PM in the Chapel of the Saints (not online)
Lent is a time of fasting, almsgiving, and prayer. This Lent we focus on healing within and through our bodies. For nearly two millennia, Christian experience has tended to devalue bodies. Culture today can view bodies as commodities to be used. Christ became a body—a self—and redeems us in and through our body. When we embrace our whole selves, the healing of Christ becomes more knowable, tangible, and real. Like Simon’s mother-in-law (Mark 1:29-31), Jesus touches our bodies and lifts us up, returning us to diakonia, our true vocation of service in the world. We will pray in community through scripture, silence, song, and conversation. Join us for contemplative evening prayer on Wednesdays at 7 PM, led by Pastor Travis Fitzgold and Bryan Rust.
