Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, being tempted for forty days by the devil.

Join us on the Wednesdays of Lent, beginning March 12th, as we explore Christ’s temptations in the wilderness.
Dinner served beginning at 5:30pm.
Holden Evening Prayer worship at 6:30pm.
As you know, the 40 days of Lent are a time of solemn reflection. During this season, we reflect on our communion with God and our alienation from God. We focus our awareness on the loneliness of Christ in Gethsemane, his death on the cross, and our dependence on God’s infinite mercy, while resting in the hope of the Easter to come. It is a time of confession, repentance, and for many, fasting.
For nearly 1 billion people in the world, going hungry is not a spiritual practice or reverent sacrifice. Hunger is a reality in which many of our brothers and sisters live every day. During the Wednesdays of the Lenten season, we invite you to go “Into the Wild,” to follow Jesus into the wilderness and to reflect on your own journey into the “wild places” of the world where we encounter human need, abuse of power, risk, and God’s grace. Many suffer in the wilderness of the world, yet we know that the Holy Spirit is there, calling us, accompanying us and empowering us to meet our own needs by serving the needs of our neighbors. Let us journey together “into the wild” of Lent, to a place where we encounter the living God in the midst of hunger and poverty.
