From the depths we cry to Thee,

God of sovereign majesty!

Hear our prayers and hymns of praise;

Bless our Lent of forty days.

Gracious God, our hearts renew;

Strengthen us thy will to do.

Wash us, make us pure within;

Cleanse us from the stain of sin.

Lord, accept our Lenten fast

And forgive our sinful past,

That we may partake with Thee

In the Easter mystery.

--hymn by Alan McDougall and Owen Alstott

Rice Bowls This Lenten program offers opportunities

for your family to engage daily with the

spiritual pillars of Lent: prayer, fasting and

almsgiving. It’s an opportunity for us as a

parish to come together and reflect on what

it means to live out our Gospel call to serve

the needy. Please take a Rice Bowl,

available on the table in the commons area,

and participate in this very important

program. Please be sure to return your Rice

Bowl on or before Palm Sunday

Seneca is hosting a fund-raising gala

Thursday, April 25 at 6:15pm at the

Rivermill Event Center. It will be an

unforgettable evening, with guest speaker

and Seneca’s founder, Kelly Tolman. The

meal is free; however, Seneca is asking

each attendee to cover the cost of their meal

at $40 per person. Any donation over that

amount would help the ministry continue to

offer its services for free to clients.

If you would like to attend, please see

Kim Anderson or

visit www.senecacfl.life to RSVP. You

can put “Kim Anderson” as your table

head.

*T*E*N*E*B*R*A*E* A Service of Shadows

Walking through scripture with Christ

toward his death.

“Tenebrae” also known as the Service of

Shadows, has been a part of the Roman Rite

for centuries. Originally, this ceremony took

the place in the late evening before or in the

early morning hour on Maudy Thursday or

on Good Friday as a service of prayer and

song commemorating the Passion of Jesus

Christ. Although the structure and style of

the Tenebrae Service has been modified

over the years in the Roman Rte and in

other Christian Rites, the gradual

extinguishing of the candles during the

service, symbolizing light to darkness,

remains the hallmark of Tenebrae.

Extinguishing the final candle symbolizes

the death of Christ. This is followed by a

loud noise or “strepitus” corresponding to

the convulsion of nature when Christ dies.

The return of the “Christ” candle

symbolizes the triumph of good over evil

and the Resurrection.
