Lent at St Cyprian’s

Lent is a season of reflection, prayer, and renewal in the life of the Church—a forty-day journey that invites us to turn our hearts more fully toward God. Rooted in honesty about our lives and trust in God’s grace, Lent offers space to deepen our faith through worship, spiritual practices, and acts of compassion, as we prepare to walk with Christ toward the hope of Easter.

At St. Cyprian’s, we will have a variety of ways to mark this season together.

Ash Wednesday, 18 February – Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, calling us into a season of prayer and repentance as we receive ashes as a sign of our mortality and our hope in God’s transforming grace. There will be 3 different times during the day where we will offer ways to enter this holy season with intention:

  1. 1. The church will be open for quiet contemplation and “Ashes to Go” from 7-9am on Wednesday, 18th February. This quiet time of peace and reflection is set aside for those whose schedules will prevent them from participating in services later in the day.

2. What is Lent? Children’s Ash Wednesday learning and service opportunity will be held between 11-12. Families with nursery and school aged children are welcome to drop in and participate in activities that will teach them about the Christian season of Lent, They will also have the option to receive ashes if they desire it.

3. Service of Holy Eucharist with the Distribution of Ashes will be held at 4pm in the Nave.

Lent Bible Study

If you are looking for a way to explore scripture in community this Lent, I invite you to a combined Lenten Study with St. Cyprian’s and St. James’ churches. Meeting Thursday evenings from 7-8pm in the Choir Vestry at St. Cyprian’s, or online via zoom, all are welcome as we explore the rich blessing of the psalms. We will follow the book, Pause: Spending Lent with the Psalms by Elizabeth F. Caldwell, as we explore the psalms assigned for the season.

Those who participate will have the option to purchase the book that Rev Audrey will be using the frame the course if they desire it.

There are 3 ways to participate: in person, via zoom, or through personal study prompted by the weekly class emails.

Those who sign up will receive weekly emails with study questions and things to consider as they examine the psalm of the week beginning from Ash Wednesday and ending on Easter.
