ASHES TO ALLELUIAS

Wednesday Evenings in Lent

Lent invites us to slow down and make space for God’s presence in real life. On Wednesday nights, join us for a five-week series introducing simple Christian spiritual practices that help us listen, pray, and live with greater intention. Each session is designed for beginners and longtime pray-ers alike, and includes a brief teaching, a guided experience of the practice, and a simple take-home invitation for the week ahead.

We will start serving supper at 5:30; sessions begin at 6:15 p.m. in the Gathering Space.

Wednesday Evening Events

February 25: Breath Prayer + Examen - A gentle way to pray with the body and to review the day with God, noticing where grace met you and what you’re ready to release.

March 4:  Lectio Divina (Praying with Scripture) - A slow, prayerful way of reading the Gospel that helps us listen for the Word that is meant for us, here and now.

March 11: Make + Pray with Anglican Prayer Beads - We’ll make a simple set of prayer beads and learn an easy pattern of prayer you can use anywhere, especially when you don’t have words.

March 18: Contemplative Prayer - An introduction to silent prayer as consent to God’s presence and action, learning how to return gently when the mind wanders.

March 25: A Rule of Life (and commissioning) - A practical, life-giving way to shape a sustainable rhythm of prayer, Scripture, service, and rest that can carry you beyond Lent.
