Midweek Lent
Created for Community: Soup Suppers & Holden Evening Prayer
In the early church, the weeks before Easter were a time in which the whole community took responsibility for the training of catechumens. Not only were the catechumens enriched by this formation, but those already within the community were strengthened in their faith along with them. Using readings from Mark’s gospel, this series invites the assembly to reflect on what it means to be in community with one another, with the world, with creation, and with God. We will share a soup supper at 6 p.m. in the Celebration Center at Far Hills and begin worship at 6:40 p.m. in the same space. The popular sung Holden Evening Prayer will be back again this year, as well as faith stories on the topics from Epiphany people.

Soup Suppers March 5-April 9 at 6 PM
Each week during Lent, we will collect different personal care and cleaning items. Case workers’ clients are grateful to receive such things as shampoo, deodorant, and toilet paper, because these supplies cannot be purchased with food assistance cards.
Items may be donated at any time, and monetary donations are accepted online under “Lenten Pantry Care Packages” or by check with “Lent Project” in the check memo. Monetary donations will be used to purchase additional items not on the list and to even out the items for assembling the care packages. If you’re considering making a financial donation, each care package costs about $25.
