6:00 -7:00 PM – Lenten Program – Will You?
When we are initiated into the church with the water of baptism, we (or our sponsors) answer a series of questions called the Baptismal Covenant. The first three questions echo the words of our creeds, our beliefs about God and the church. The last five questions focus on action. They each begin with the words: Will You?
These “Will You” questions articulate how we are to animate our baptism, to follow Christ’s example in our relationships with others, our communities, and the world. These questions move from a gathering in to a sending out. They are a call to embrace and practice evangelism by proclaiming the Good News of Christ in all we do and say. Join us on Wednesday evenings during Lent to explore all that we can do and will do…With God’s Help.

Lenten Meditations
Sign up to receive for daily emails
According to The Book of Common Prayer, Lent provides us with the opportunity for self-examination, repentance, prayer, fasting and self-denial; and to read and meditate on God’s holy word (BCP, p 265). This Lenten Season, discover new ways your faith is guiding you through, as you journey through Episcopal Relief & Development’s Lenten Meditations, reflecting on “Holy Habits.”
Written by Sister Monica Clare, an Episcopal nun, author and unlikely TikTok star, these meditations offer an invitation to rediscover—or deepen—holy habits of prayer, worship and engagement with Scripture. These “holy habits” provide a path to a life that is given shape, meaning and direction by being rooted in a deeper relationship with God. You can also directly access the meditations at the same link.
Here is the link for people to subscribe to the Episcopal Relief and Development Meditations and receive one in your inbox each day.
