LENT AT IMMANUEL

Picture

Walking the Walk: A Lenten Forum Hour Series 

“Walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us…” ~ Ephesians 5:2

​It’s clear, from both Scripture and Church tradition, that living the Christian life involves far more than gathering for worship on Sundays – vital as that is. Drawing on our historic partnership with the Virginia Theological Seminary, we will welcome four members of the faculty who will talk about living the faith and walking the walk in many different parts of our lives. Each speaker will leave room for questions and discussion after his or her presentation.

LENTEN RESOURCES

"Lent at Immanuel": Gives information about the holy season of Lent, including Immanuel's worship and study offerings.

"Lenten Resolves": 
to assist with personal Lenten planning

"2023 Lenten Creation Care Calendar": a Lenten discipline of becoming more mindful of the ways that our daily choices impact both our common home and all those with whom we share it -- to be better stewards of God's creation. 

​
Life Transformed: The Way of Love in Lent 
The Episcopal Church has published a set of videos, readings, and a calendar that can be used by groups or individuals, tying Lenten readings to the seven practices of the "Way of Love"

LITURGICAL CHANGES IN LENT

  • On the First Sunday in Lent, we will follow age-old Anglican tradition and pray the Great Litany, the first Christian worship service that was translated into English. 
  • Throughout the season we omit the ancient praise-shout "Alleluia” as we await the joy of Easter. 
  • Our liturgical color will change to purple, the traditional color of penitence, waiting, and expectation. 
  • We will make more space for silence in all of our liturgies, more of a time apart from our busy and often noisy lives.
