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.

Jesus’ last meal with his disciples and friends. The Synoptics offer a brief description of this event, but we’ll turn our attention instead to John’s gospel which extends the scene to five chapters. Here, the writer tells of how feet were washed, bread and wine were offered, and then Jesus began to speak. It was just hours until his arrest, and by noon of the next day he would be executed. And his disciples had no idea.

What makes Jesus’ sayings here so compelling is the sense that he is pulling no punches. He’s laying it all out... he’s re-emphasizing his most important talking points...he’s promising that they’ll be okay...and then he prays for them.

As we journey through Lent our sermon series will delve into this final conversation and explore what mattered most to Jesus as he said goodbye and prepared for his passion.
