2022 Lenten Opportunities

A Personal Encounter with the Power of the Gospel
5-week Study: Thursday, Mar. 3 – Thursday, Apr. 7

Meets Thursday evenings
7-8:30pm in Marian Hall
Facilitator: Debbie Bloomgren

Registration is closed for this study.

Often in our spiritual lives we think we’re asking for too much, but in reality we are asking for too little. God wants to give us more, but we aren’t asking for it. He wants to help us overcome our weaknesses, help us stop falling into the same old patterns — he wants to give us freedom. This Lent, ask God to give it to you so you can arrive at Easter more healed, fulfilled, and transformed than ever before.

Note: The first course will be in Meeting Rm 2 and the following weeks will meet in Marian Hall.

Forgiven: The Transforming Power of Confession
4-week Study: Friday, Mar. 11 – Friday, Apr. 8

Meets Friday mornings
10-11:30am in Meeting Rm 2
Facilitator: Rachel Sweet

Registration is closed for this study.

This study explores the grace and healing offered in Confession and shows how this sacrament of mercy reveals the depth and bounty of God's love. By looking at God's revelation of his mercy in Scripture and making a step-by-step examination of the Rite itself, Forgiven communicates God's invitation to each one of us to come experience his indescribable love in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Each Tuesday evening at 7:00pm*, Mass will be celebrated in the Church. During Lent the regular Tuesday evening Mass will include special preaching based on the readings and including the following themes:

March 8 The Lord’s Prayer – Our Way into Prayer

March 15 Conversion – Turning our hearts to God

March 22 – Forgiveness – Finding our way to one another
*Mass will begin at 7:15pm this night due to the J-Walkers Stations of the Cross

March 29 Renewing Our Faith – The cleansing bath of baptism

April 5 Being lifted up with Christ – Dying and rising

April 12 The Passion – Uniting our human suffering with Christ’s
 
There is no better way to celebrate Lent than to be nourished at the table of God’s Word and the table of the Eucharist. As part of your Lenten journey consider attending these Tuesday evening Masses.
