Lent has traditionally been a season of the church year in which we prepare for the Easter celebration by turning our hearts to God through prayer, fasting, and acts of service.

Join us every Wednesday of Lent through March 25, at 7 pm for a 30-minute worship service reflecting on James Cone's book The Cross and the Lynching Tree, exploring the connection between these tools of violence and how the oppressed have resisted and created liberation despite the threats of empire.

Further small group study of the book will be available before the Wednesday evening services at 5:45 pm. If you are interested in participating, please sign up on the clipboard in the entry hall or email Intern Pax.

Join in the sanctuary for 30 minutes of reflection time with a brief reflection from a Catholic writer, followed by 15 minutes of silence and a closing prayer. Questions? Contact Reverend Vinci.

Our forum between services will introduce the Lenten devotional created by Intern Pax, Journeying Towards Liberation Together, as well as our Lenten book study on James Cone's The Cross and the Lynching Tree. We'll explore the connection between these tools of violence and how the oppressed have resisted and created liberation despite the threats of empire.

This Wednesday, Deri Bash will reflect upon his own Lenten practices and the seeds of hope and justice that have been placed on his heart. After the service, join us for an optional 30-minute small group conversation on the theme.

Join us in person or online for a lay-led service featuring our new Contemplative Choir. Though it is a somber occasion, we hope your hearts will soar as they lead us in chant, interspersed with music, prayers, readings, and a candle-lighting ritual.

This book study will read and discuss The Land is Not Empty: Following Jesus in Dismantling the Doctrine of Discovery by Sarah Augustine. Led by Pastor Janet Parker and Scott Shurtleff jointly for Spirit of Grace and EcoFaith Recovery, we will unpack the ongoing harm done by the Doctrine of Discovery — a set of fifteenth-century papal bulls that gave European monarchs the legal right to seize lands they "discovered" and enslave the Indigenous people they found there, all in the name of Christ. Augustine issues a powerful call to address the root causes of a religious, legal, and political legacy that continues to devastate Indigenous peoples around the globe and our planetary ecology.
