Here is a complete listing of all Lenten small groups, ongoing ministries and Lent-related events happening during Lent 2026, in the order of their beginning sessions. Each would make a meaningful addition to your Lenten journey.
Monday Night Meditation
Mondays, 6:45-8:00 p.m. in the Chapel. Every week our open gathering of people sitting together and walking together in the Great Silence confirms the mysterious healing power of the Spirit. Beginning meditators, practitioners from Buddhist, Catholic, Anglican and other traditions are all transformed together on Mondays at 6:45 p.m. both on Zoom and in the chapel. All are welcome. Why not try it on for Lent?
Tuesday Centering Prayer
Tuesdays, 7:00-8:00 p.m. on Zoom. Centering Prayer is a meditation practice that is centered in the contemplative
Christian tradition. A sacred word is chosen as your symbol of intention to consent to God’s presence and action within. Your word is used to focus your attention so that when thoughts or sensations arise you return gently to the sacred word. The prayer is done in silence for a 20 minute period. Make this part of your Lenten Tuesdays?
Worship in the Style of Taizé
Wednesdays, 6:10-7:00 p.m. in the Chapel. Prayer in the Taizé style of worship is quiet and reflective, deeply peaceful and joyful. It is simple songs and chants, readings, silences and meditative prayers. Songs are sung many times over as a prayer of the heart and the focus of this service is on Christ and the cross, reconciliation and prayers for the suffering throughout the world.
