Lent at Ascension

In Lent, we are invited to pay special attention to our relationship to God through fasting, prayer, acts of generosity, and study. Consider entering into the season with some shared practices.

Fasting 
Get as close as you can to giving up single-use plastics. Every time you are inconvenienced, pray for strength. Every time you are unable (or unwilling) to avoid them, offer a prayer of repentance.

Morning and/or Night prayer.
Gather at the church or join in wherever you are – starting Feb. 27
9:30 a.m. Monday to Thursday
8:30 p.m. Monday to Friday

A simplified order of service and set of readings is available here.

Generosity
Set aside a daily amount to give to the refugee ministry of Ascension, or another ministry you care about. This amount could be $0.25 or $1 or $5 or $10. If you have children at home, make a point of actually having the cash on hand and adding to a collection’s box each day.

Study the Gospel according to John.

  • Thursday Bible Study and Communion in the church hall at 10 a.m.
  • Story at the Rectory on March 5, 19, and April 2 from 7:30-9 (ending with Evening Prayer). 
  • Lenten Quiet Day in the church on April 4 from 9-2:30
