Five-Part Lenten Series

Lent is a time of prayer, doing penance, repentance from sin, giving alms, and denying the ego through fasting.  

 

In a spiritual sense we turn away from the revelation of light to confront the darkness within our souls.  After passing through the dark night of our souls, the Holy Spirit delivers our spirit back into the light of Christ at Easter.  

Please come join us in formation beginning March 1 for a five-part journey through the dark night of our souls to return to the light of Christ.  It is a journey that is guided by St. John of the Cross, a 16th century Carmelite monk, who sought spiritual communion leading to spiritual union with the Holy Spirit through mystical contemplative prayer. 

​

Wednesday Evening Lenten Series

Wherever You Go, There You Are. March 4th through April 1st, 7:00-8:15 p.m. Led by Mother Jamie and Deacon Mark. The purpose of this series will be to learn about other countries, cultures, religions, and peoples as an entry point to exploring aspects of our shared human condition.  

 

Coffee & Conversation

When we don't have any formal Formation we typically gather for coffee and a discussion on topics that typically change from week to week.
