Create Deep in Me – Midweek Lent 2023
Psalm 51 is traditionally read as part of Ash Wednesday Worship, the beginning of Lent. In the Common English Bible, verse 10 reads, “Create a clean heart for me, God; put a new, faithful spirit deep inside me!” These words serve as the anchor for our Midweek Lenten series, “Create Deep in Me.”
On Ash Wednesday, February 22nd, we will begin our Lenten time together, by sharing a meal at 6:00 p.m. At 7:00 we will move to the Old Chapel to join in a traditional Ash Wednesday worship, including imposition of ashes.
Wednesday, March 1, after dinner, Dr. Micah Sadigh will share his thoughts in a presentation entitled, “Spirituality as a Source of Meaning and an Instrument for Healing.” He will briefly explore contemplative prayer through the lens of The Cloud of Unknowing and its mode of “falling in love with God.”
The following three Wednesdays, March 8th, 15th, and 22nd, we will share in a variety of spiritual practices to “put a new, faithful spirit deep inside me.” These practices have been used in the church and Christian communities for centuries.
After our shared meal on March 29th we will bring our Lenten series to a close with a contemplative worship service in the Old Chapel, designed around the practices we’ve learned, designed to lead us into Holy Week.
Pastor Maggie Wellert, Jane Leposa , and Pam Larimer are coordinating this ministry. It is our prayer that God will guide our path as we stretch and grow together. If you’d like to be part of the planning team, please reach out to Pastor Maggie.
