Bonhoeffer Lenten Series 2025

Thursdays 5PM-7pm

Each year, St. Peter’s conducts a Lenten series throughout the season on Thursday evenings in the parish hall. We gather for a light supper of soup and salad at 5 pm, followed by a program that concludes by 7pm. We are looking for people to sign up to bring soups, salads, breads, or desserts each week. You can find the sign up sheets on the wall in the Parish Hall. Sign up for as many or as few weeks as you would like to! This Lent, we will be using a program developed by the Lutheran church entitled: Lessons from Dietrich Bonhoeffer in a House Divided and a World on Fire. Bonhoeffer lived through the rise of Christian nationalism in Germany. His writings on discipleship and Christian ethics have become the cornerstone of contemporary Christian theology. He has much to say about living the authentic Christian faith during difficult days. We hope you can join us!

Lenten Quiet mornings

Lenten Quiet Saturday Mornings continue through April 12, 10 am to noon. Rev Rebecca Brenner and Mother Carlyle Gill will resource your work in this time set apart around hope, will, purpose / dedication, discipline, fidelity, love / care and wisdom. Please join us as you are able.

Please note that April 5th we will meet at the Moorings, in the Quiet Room in the main building. April 12, we return to the sacristy/ Absalom Jones Chapel at St Peter’s.


Some participants in the Quiet Lenten gatherings have expressed an interest in continuing informal scheduled (TBD) gatherings for the purpose of being one another’s spiritual companions. If this is something which might interest you, please let Rebecca Brenner know.
