Vespers for Lent

One of the practices of the church during Lent includes increased prayer. We are invited and encouraged to increase our daily prayer at home through the reading of the Scriptures, the singing of Psalms and hymns, and offering up petitions. A possible resource for this would include the Lenten devotions from HIGHER THINGS.

We are also invited to join in increased corporate prayer. At Luther Memorial Chapel, we have Vespers on Wednesdays in Lent at 6 PM. Vespers is the historic evening prayer office of the church. Everyone is welcome to join us. Before Vespers, we have a light supper at 5:15 PM. In addition, we have our regularly scheduled Matins on Tuesday mornings at 9 AM. If you're free at these times, we invite you to join us to hear God's Word and respond in prayer and song.
