I invite you, therefore, in the name of the Church, to the observance of a holy Lent, by self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self-denial; and by reading and meditating on God’s holy Word.
– Book of Common Prayer,  p.265

We begin the observance of the season of Lent on February 18th with two Ash Wednesday services: 12:00 noon and 7:00 p.m. We will partner with our brothers and sisters at Christ Church in these services, as we have in the past several years.

Child care will be provided for children ages 6 and under by reservation for the 7:00 p.m. service only. The deadline to RSVP for child care is midnight on Wednesday, February 4th.
