We will again offer combined services and Lenten programs with several area Episcopal churches: St Nicholas, St Columba of Iona, Holy Innocents, Church of the Incarnation (tentative) and St Bede's.

The services will take place on the 5 Wednesdays after Ash Wednesday (beginning  March 12th).  Soup, beverage and salad will be provided by the hosting parish, with other parishes bringing bread, cheese and fruit.  We will alternate Taize services (contemplative chant and prayer) with didactic or experiential sessions on the Sacred Triduum, focusing this year on Maundy Thursday.  Dinner will be at 6:30 PM and the program will begin at 7:15 PM.  The services and locations are as follows:
