Lenten Activities

Lent is the traditional time of year to take on extra prayer or learning--
to give particular attention to the Holy One.

Preach and Soup
Wednesdays at Noon

 The 34th annual Preach and Soup series held at Holy Communion continues on Wednesdays February 27, March 6, 13, & 20. The St. Peter Area Ministerial Association and Church of the Holy Communion jointly sponsor this Lenten program. Services begin at 12:05 pm and a soup luncheon follows each service. Because our congregation provides and serves the food, all monies collected in the free-will offerings are dedicated to the St Peter Area Food Shelf. The theme for this year’s series is: A favorite biblical person, and what we learn from them. Homilist for February 27 will be The Rev. Andrew Davis. March 6, The Rev. Tom Harries; March 13, the Rev Phip Schotzko; and March 20, the Rev. Amy Jo Bur.

Lenten Discussion Group
Wednesdays at 7:00 pm, February 27 through March 20

Why do bad things happen to good people? Good things happen to bad people? If God is good, where does the evil come from? How should we respond to suffering: with resignation or resistance? Join in a conversation about these questions on Wednesday evenings in Lent, starting February 27 at 7:00 pm. Gustavus religion faculty member Deborah Goodwin will introduce some the the classic biblical and theological responses to these questions as well as some contemporary perspectives. The focus will be on conversation, rather than lecture. The sessions will also be streamed live via the church website.
