Today, Ash Wednesday, begins again the 40 Days of Lent. We invite you again to join the North Street Community during this important season in daily intentional and formational activity. The Season of Lent is the forty day period (minus Sundays) prior to Easter Sunday. It's a time of reflection on the passion and death of Christ, and a preparation for the Resurrection Sunday. It is a time of focused spiritual formation. We will be intentionally preparing ourselves for Holy Week and Easter through these daily activities:
Daily - Scripture Reading & Reflection
Mondays - Individual Prayer
Tuesdays - Fasting
Wednesdays - Corporate Prayer
Thursdays - Corporate Scripture Study
Fridays - Personal Acknowledgment
Saturday - Preparing to Worship
Sunday - Corporate Worship
In addition, we will be gathering together on special occasions, beginning this evening:
Wednesday, 2/6, Ash Wednesday Gathering, 7:00 PM
Sunday, 2/17, Gathering to Fellowship, 12:15 PM
Sunday, 2/17, The Remembrance, 6:00 PM
Sunday, 3/16, Gathering to Fellowship, 12:15 PM
Sunday, 3/16, The Remembrance, 6:00 PM
Thursday, 3/20, The Passion of the Christ, (RSVP to Pastor@northst.org)

Sunday, 3/23, Easter Sunday Sunrise Gathering, 6:30 AM
Stay tuned for more information on these future gatherings (The Remembrance, viewings of The Passion of the Christ, etc.).
The very first activity together is corporate prayer today at 2:00 PM in the Newell Gathering Room. If you're not busy then, come and pray with us. If you are at work or school or home or wherever, take a few moments to pray at 2:00, knowing that there are a couple of us praying together in Hingham. And then, again, this evening, we'll gather for a short Ash Wednesday service, marking the beginning of Lent (7:00 PM).
