We will gather in the Chapel each Wednesday evening during Lent to celebrate our life together in prayer and reflection. This year we will return to the beloved setting of Holden Evening Prayer. Each week we will reflec on a biblical passage that is related to The Great Shema -- the cornerstone verse in Deuteronomy that Jesus said was the greatest commandment of all.
Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. (Deut. 6:4-5)
Here are the texts for each of our five services:
