Lenten Activities AT CHRIST CHURCH
Deep River
Tuesdays, March 8th – April 5th
7:00 p.m.
Deep River: An Exploration of Spirituals returns for its fourth season, beginning on Tuesday, March 8th. It will take place in-person in the sanctuary, and also will be video-recorded or, if possible, livestreamed. This program has become a feature of Christ Church’s Lenten practice, and intentionally so. Lent is a season where our attention turns to opportunities for change and renewal, of rebirth and reflection on our lives. The hope for Deep River is that through music and conversation, we will create space to become a new thing, together, in Christ.
Our Water, Our Planet & Us – A Lenten Meditation
During this Lenten season, the Christ Church Green Team invites you into deeper thought of the relationship with our planet and its water. We know that water is necessary for life, but also that it is threatened in a variety of ways. While this affects us all, the threat is particularly severe to those who societies marginalize.
Each week during Lent, we ask you to spend some time engaging with these resources, all of which emphasize environmental stewardship. Each one takes about 25 minutes of your time.
Click here to find the weekly resources.
If you would like to react to any of the weekly lessons, there are a couple of ways to do so:
- Put your written comments in a suggestion box found in the Atrium
- Email your comments to the Office
Your comments will be used to make decisions about future Green Team offerings concerning environmental stewardship.
Our roots in Detroit are deep, stretching back to 1845, when many of Detroit’s founding families established this church. The intention then was the same as it is today: to stand as a beacon of hope in the heart of Detroit.
- We are a contemporary, open and affirming, multi-racial, multi-ethnic congregation, enlivened by the Holy Spirit to serve Christ in the world around us.
- Some of us were born into the Episcopal Church, some were received into it as adults, and some of us are just discovering or exploring it now.
- We are straight and LGBT, single, married, divorced, and remarried, with and without children.
- We are a neighborhood church for city residents, and also a destination congregation for those from surrounding areas or across the Canadian border.
- We are all here because prayer and worship strengthen us in our daily lives, and because we have found community, acceptance, mission, and love.
