Lent 2019
Trinity Episcopal Church Welcome to a Holy Lent at Trinity Church Celebrations don’t just happen. Celebrations require preparation. No wedding, birthday party, golden anniversary or the like happens without making plans and getting ready. So too with the feast days of our faith, Christmas and Easter especially. We get ourselves ready spiritually, emotionally and I suppose psychologically for the birth of Jesus at Christmas by preparing ourselves in the season of Advent. Likewise, we prepare for the celebration of Easter in the season of Lent. Lent calls us to take stock in our lives. We are called to prayer, to study and to confession. In this publication you will note a number of ways you may keep a holy Lent here at Trinity Church. These opportunities are not exhaustive but they are, we pray, an opportunity somewhere along the way of your Lenten journey. I pray some of them will be a blessing to you as you prepare in heart, soul, mind and spirit for the great feast of the Resurrection. Christ promises each of us a place in his eternal kingdom. We don’t need to earn this place, it is being, even now, granted to us. Yet, Lent calls us to consider the depth of our thanksgiving for this indescribable gift. By Grace, Scott+ 1
