St. David’s Lenten Devotional
As we follow along on the journey with Jesus to the cross, the season of Lent engages our hearts and minds so that we are truly ready to celebrate once we arrive at Resurrection Sunday. Lent is a time of contemplation, a time of dedication, and a time of preparation. To help prepare for the crucifixion, follow along with the 2020 St. David’s Lenten Devotional.
Lent & Easter Events
Living in Community: St. Benedict’s Rule of Life
This three-part series will examine how a rule for monastic living written 1500 years ago can serve as a model for 21st century Christians seeking to live God-centered lives within faith communities, families, workplaces, and neighborhoods. Benedict of Nursia can instruct each of us how to incorporate the practical virtues of humility, prayer, stewardship, and, yes, obedience in ways that draw us closer to God and strengthen the communities in which we live. Join this group to experience Lent by fashioning a contemporary Rule of Life through the teachings of the father of monasticism.
Lenten Choral Evensong
Evensong is a traditional Anglican choral service with beautiful canticles, psalms and anthems . There will be music of Brahms, Martin, and Reading. Come experience this peaceful meditative service—another way to open our hearts to God.
