Lenten
Silence (Advent
Room)
Thursdays
at 12:15 p.m. (March 1- 29)
“Be
silent before the Lord God!” Zephaniah
1:7
Are you in need of quiet, space, and a time to contemplate? Do you want
the opportunity to stop for a while?
Lent can be the time to acknowledge God’s Majesty and blessings, to
admit faults and the need for repentance, and to give thanks for God’s healing, redemptive grace. The ultimate Love, the gift of Himself -
once crucified, dead, buried, now risen -can be accepted in faith, hope, and
truth…
“Be
still and know that I am God!” Psalm
46:10
Lenten Silence will begin on
Thursday, March 1st at 12:15 p.m. in the Advent Room. Its duration will be 30 to 40 minutes. Noon Daily Devotion from
BCP will begin the session, followed by a period of silence for prayer and
contemplation and end with a brief meditation/prayer.
In faith,
