Newsletter and Order of Service for the First Sunday in Lent

Having spent a tumultuous year, this Lent we are asking ourselves how to stand for justice; how we can seek reconciliation; how to forgive and love our enemies; how to care for the vulnerable and marginalized; and how we can build Beloved Community.
 
From the rector: "It's not always easy to figure out what we are called to do in situations of conflict, injustice and hurt. And yet there is no more important work for our world, our church, our personal relationships or our own souls." Join us at 11 a.m. for Sunday's service via Zoom and in our activities in the weeks ahead as we explore this work.
