FIRST CHURCH IN JAFFREY
Lent is a special JOURNEY
In lieu of flowers during Lent, the First Church in Jaffrey is placing sacred objects on the altar, as a spiritual focus. Today we place a rustic Celtic Cross cast and welded by a young Massachusetts artist.

Lenten Activities
Lenten Prayer and Soup
Each Friday at 12:00 noon during lent, you are welcome to join Steve in the Parish house for a simple prayer service – a pause near week’s end to breathe and remember. This gentle prayer will last about 30 minutes and will be followed by a simple soup lunch. These services will begin on Friday, February 24th and run through Good Friday, April 7, 2023
Lenten Study Series: The Character of Faith
Steve will be leading a study series on Wednesday afternoons during Lent. These educational gatherings will be held at 4:00 pm in the Parish Hall beginning on Wednesday, March 1, 2023. The theme of the series is the character of faith. Using simple biographies from biblical and historic characters of faith, we will explore and discuss how we might live as people of faith in our day and time. If there is interest, the series will also be available on zoom with links emailed out via eblast each week
Masks and Distancing
During this latest season of flu and new, highly contagious Covid strain we ask that you show compassion and care for our entire community by wearing a mask and keeping distance when possible. Many of our dear neighbors and friends are immunocompromised and we want everyone to feel welcome in our service
