You are warmly invited to join our seminary community for a special time of Lenten soup, bread, and prayer. Beginning Tuesday, February 24, and continuing each Tuesday through March 31, we will gather from 6:30–7 p.m. for a simple meal of soup and bread. Following our time of soup and prayer, you are invited to join the Dean of Chapel online, either together in OCC 148 or individually in your rooms—as you feel most comfortable—for Virtual Vespers. As part of our communal Lenten practice, we will also take part in creating a mural together—watch for announcements about this activity. All are welcome, come as you are.

Let’s gather on Zoom (link in email) on Tuesday evenings during Lent. Pastor Steve will host a simple time where we will check in with each other, read scripture, pray, and reflect on our Lenten theme: Encounter. We’ll begin at 7 p.m. and finish by 7:45. The Zoom link is also on the LS Community shared Google calendar.

In this devotion, Sally Messner ’07 M.S.M. observes how, as we approach Holy Week, we enter the drama knowing that the tomb will be empty in the end. Read today’s God Pause.
