“being made new” Lent at St. Cyprian’s

Wednesdays, February 29th – April 4th
6:30 p.m.-8 p.m.

Each week during Lent,share a meal, book, practices & prayers. Join us as we read together, Radical Welcome: Embracing God, The Other, and the Spirit of Transformation by The Reverend Stephanie Spellers.  This book is a theological, inspirational, and practical guide for congregations that want to move beyond diversity and inclusion to present a vision for the church of the future: one where the transforming gifts, voices and power of marginalized cultures and groups bring new life to the mainline church.

Read more about the author the Reverend Stephanie Spellers and the faith community she leads “The Crossing” in Boston, by clicking here.

Our theme for the season, “being made new” comes from a prayer said during the Good Friday & Easter Vigil liturgies,

O God of unchangeable power and eternal light: Look favorably on your whole Church, that wonderful and sacred mystery; by the effectual working of your providence, carry out in tranquility the plan of salvation; let the whole world see and know that things which were cast down are being raised up, and things which had grown old are being made new, and that all things are being brought to their perfection by him through whom all things were made, your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

(Book of Common Prayer, p. 285)

Saint Cyprian’s Episcopal Church has been a member of the San Francisco community for almost 90 years. We are a passionate group of seekers, thinkers, dreamers, doubters and believers from many walks of life. We hope you can come join us on Sundays and throughout the week.

If you are new to the Episcopal Church, you may find this website helpful, which shares much about our history, practices and theology.  St. Cyprian’s strives to…

live by the message of Christ, in which there are no outcasts and all are welcome. Walking a middle way between Roman Catholicism and Protestant traditions, we are a sacramental and worship-oriented church that promotes thoughtful debate about what God is calling us to do and be, as followers of Christ.
