Newsletter and Order of Service for the Third Sunday in Lent

From the rector: "This year I am thinking of Lent not as spring cleaning, but as spring thaw. When I walk around the city, I see the dirty remnant of the last snow, and in the parks, the wet ground where the snow has melted. It is slushy and then muddy — a mess before the new growth of spring crocuses peak up through the earth. What, I wonder, in my life or in yours might thaw this Lent?"
 
Join us at 11 a.m. for Sunday's service via Zoom and in our activities in the weeks ahead as we warm to the message that the Creator and Ruler of the Universe loves us to the point of even dying for us if we demanded it.
