begins Monday, February 22 / Chapel Portico or Narthex

Throughout the history of the Church, Lent has been a season of penitence and personal reflection as we prepare our hearts to receive the gift of Easter. During these 40 days, we commit to spending intentional time with God as we cry out with the psalmist: “Create a clean heart for me, God; put a new, faithful spirit deep inside me!” (Psalm 51:10 CEB).   This year the ministry teams of the church are creating weekly Quiet Spaces to help us experience God’s ever present love and care through scripture reading, prayer, creative expression and reflective activities.

Each Quiet Space will be self-guided, but will also be introduced in a video as part of the Monday email and on social media beginning Monday, February 22 and continuing through Monday, March 29. The station will be available throughout the week in the portico outside the chapel or in the chapel narthex depending on weather. Intergenerational instructions and all materials will be provided. We encourage one individual or family to experience the station at a time. May we all experience God’s steadfast love and mercy as we focus on God’s presence with us.
