Our Lenten Vespers series, Of Dust and Stars, invites us into a quiet, candlelit space to reflect on the sacred tension at the heart of Lent. Grounded in the words, “You are dust, and to dust you shall return” (Genesis 3:19), this series reminds us that we are both fragile and radiant—dust that bears God’s light. Through prayer, Scripture, music, and contemplative liturgy, we will explore the mystery of ashes and hope, mortality and resurrection, sorrow and beauty. Lent does not rush to easy answers but gently teaches us how to live within life’s uncertainties, trusting that even now God is present and light is breaking through.

Step away from the noise of daily life and enter this sacred rhythm of reflection and renewal. Our services will be enriched with art from Lauren Wright Pittman, a poem by Jan Richardson, and music from students and teachers of our own Academy for the Arts.
