Lamentations

Every Wednesday evening during Lent, starting at 7 p.m., a sung meditation is offered to bring the faithful closer to our suffering Lord.  The service is in three parts with a different part offered each week.  The weekly meditation lasts for only 30 minutes and includes parts for the congregation to sing.  The service is called the Bitter Lamentations.

Stations of the Cross

Every Friday during Lent the 14-part meditation on Jesus' way of the cross is presented at noon and at 6:30 p.m.  The evening Stations of the Cross include  processional and closing hymns and sung verses and responses, while the noon service includes no music or singing.  The meditations and prayers focus on the traditional 14 stations based on Scripture and also on legend.  They start with Jesus' condemnation to death on a cross, continue with the events that happened while He carried His cross, then the crucifixion and finally His entombment.  The service is about 30 minutes long at noon and about 45 minutes in the evening.
