LENTEN MIDWEEK SOUP SUPPERS & WORSHIP

Hope & Healing

Wednesdays, February 25, March 4, 11, 18, & 25 at Good Shepherd

5:15 pm — Soup Supper — Soup meal will be served in Crary Hall prior to Worship

6:15 pm — Lenten Evening Prayer — Bless This Night & Holden Evening Prayer liturgies

For the five upcoming Wednesday night Lenten worship services, we will be using Holden Evening Prayer (Feb. 25 & Mar. 25) and Bless This Night (Mar. 4, 11, 19). Both liturgies were birthed in the community of Holden Village, as gifts to the whole church. Youth will lead a candlelit prayer around the cross ritual in the style of Holden Village. This special dimension of worship will be similar to the closing worship time during the South Sound Youth Activity Nights. Youth are specifically invited to help set up the candles and boxes, introduce the practice to the assembled, and guide people in the practice of praying with candles around the sandbox cross. This essential worship practice is intended to lift up the gifts of emerging youth leaders, supporting them with instruction, care, and encouragement throughout the process.

Soup Cooks and Helpers Needed:

There will be 5 suppers starting on February 25. We will need soup and rolls for each of the suppers. There is a sign-up poster in the entry area of the church. Please sign up to to make soup, bring rolls, or help with set-up and clean-up. We have some wonderful cooks in our congregation, so we are looking forward to tasting even more delicious soup again this year.
