Lent @ St.Gregory’s

 Welcome to the season of Lent.  The Word “Lent” means forty, and it represents the 40 days of preparation for the Easter Resurrection.  During this time, we prepare ourselves by prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.  During the next 40 days, we will journey together to the cross so that we can truly experience the transforming love of Jesus’ resurrection.  The following opportunities are available at St. Gregory’s so that you can fully engage in the spiritual disciplines of Lent.  May you and your families have a blessed Lenten season.

Lenten Sermon Series “Restored by Grace”

For many of us, the past few months, the past few years have been….well….exhausting. So much change. So much uncertainty. So much brokenness.

We wonder…..will I ever get over feeling tired? Can any of this be “fixed”? Can hope be “restored”?

The art work that we have chosen as a metaphor for this Lenten season is called Kintsugi. It is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver or platinum. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.

During this Lenten season we will reflect on the parables of Jesus which remind us that His grace CAN restore us.
