Lent at St. Mark’s

Our observation of Lent begins on February 18 with Ash Wednesday services held at 12:00 noon and 6:00 p.m.

You’ve heard the common phrase “you are what you eat.” When we think about Lent, we often think about what we need to give up: chocolate, take-out, expensive lattes, you name it. But what if we thought of Lent as a time to think about what we ingest daily: news, social media, negativity, perfectionism, productivity culture, and, of course, food that is not healthy for us. What we consume on a daily basis affects our mind, body, and spirit. This Lenten season, we will return to what is good for us and what can nourish our bodies both physically and spiritually. People and food belong together in beautiful and generous ways!

Our midweek services will include a short worship service beginning at 6:00 p.m. Following worship, we will move to the Fellowship Hall to enjoy appetizers and share in a 35-minute service project.
