​LENT AT CHRIST MEMORIAL

40 days of wilderness time with Jesus

Our church season of Lent can best be described as a 40-day (excluding Sundays) wilderness time with Jesus.   Following his baptism, Jesus, filled with the Spirit, decided to do some wilderness time, sitting in silence, soul searching, and confronting potential demons.    What were those demons?  The same ones that plague us: The worlds temptations of possessions, power and pride.     

During Lent we pray for healing of old wounds that cause us to miss out on the joy God intends for us.  We also become aware of our sins.  Sins are the times we have failed to show love to others, to  God, and to ourselves.   

With Jesus as our wilderness guide, we have the power to overcome these temptations. And when we fail, we are reminded by the cross that in Him, all sins are forgiven.  God always loves us, and there is always a new day.  

Stations of the Cross

Stations of the Cross is a new addition to the worship of Christ Memorial. Traditionally in the season of Lent, the liturgy of Stations of the Cross takes us through the last week of our Master’s life on this earth.  On March 10, 24 and April 7, from 4:00-4:30 pm,  the service will take place on the lawn (weather permitting) through the burial grounds.  We gather in the sanctuary and then process on our burial grounds to each of the 14 “stations” where there is a visual image. Our spiritual guide will be “Everyone’s Way of the Cross” by Clarence Enzler.  The “stations” were created by members of the church, children and adults.
