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.
