Second Sunday in Lent

Though we sometimes doubt and often resist God’s desire to protect and save us, our God persists. In holy baptism, God’s people have been called and gathered into a God-initiated relationship that will endure. Lent provides the church with a time and a tradition in which to seek the face of the Lord again. Lent provides another occasion to behold the God of our salvation in the face of the Blessed One who “comes in the name of the Lord.”

Stations of the Cross: Mass Incarceration
The Stations of the Cross are a Lenten devotion meant to ground viewers in the story of Jesus' death, the Passion narrative. Station of the Cross: Mass Incarceration combines images from the history of mass incarceration in America with those of the last day of Jesus' life. The 14 stations in this series address just some aspects of the legal, historical, and cultural context of mass incarceration.

These pieces of art have been hung around the sanctuary, starting in the back on the piano side. Here you can find an explanation from the artist, Mary Button, hung on the window and a pamphlet that will guide you through the stations.
