Lent at Clover Hill, 2025

March 9 – April 17

This season, our worship services and sermons will be informed by Kate Bowler’s Lenten series, “The Hardest Part.” She describes it this way (from her website – www.katebowler.com):

 Life is this strange, tender mix, isn’t it? Joy and sorrow, love and loss, heartbreak and hope, all tangled together. This year, we invite you to embrace Lent as it is—raw, honest, and tender. This is the season that asks us to stop pretending we’re holding it all together. It’s a time to pause, sit with what’s fragile and unfinished, and let God meet us in the hardest parts of our lives.

We will be making use of the devotional Kate and her team have put together. You can sign up to download it at this link:

We will have printed versions available in the Narthex beginning on March 2.

Pastor Heather will also lead a Lenten Discussion group, “Talking Hard with Jesus”, on Sundays after worship. Please let the Office (chrc1834@gmail.com) or Pastor Heather (pastorheatherwilson.chrc@gmail.com) know if you plan on attending. For this group, we will use Kate’s Group Guide, available at the same link above. The location for the meetings will be announced in Worship.
