Mardi Gras Celebration
Sunday: March 2 | 11:00 a.m. | Dining Room
Let’s get together for Mardi Gras! We will have an all-church New Orleans-inspired lunch and intergenerational event to mark the beginning of Lent. The lunch menu will include chicken and a vegetarian jambalaya, French bread, raw veggies and dip, clementines, and homemade cookies and bars. The Board of Community Life is not only cookin’ up food but also some fun Mardi Gras-themed crafts and live Cajun music.
Many hands make light work, so if you’d like to help by baking bars, cookies, or King Cake, at home, we’d welcome your participation. Call the church office, 608-233-9751, or contact Anne Karch, to sign up to bake.
Lent 2025
A Cross Torn Open to a Broken World
A Cross Torn Open: to a Broken World was inspired by the East Window at St. Martin in-the-fields Church in Trafalgar Square in London. The window, designed by Shirazeh Houshiary in collaboration with her husband, architect Pip Horne, adds light to the Grade I listed church and is one of the most significant pieces of religious art commissioned in modern times.
We are captivated by the appearance of a cross being torn open. We believe it allows the church to better see the world and, in turn, allows easier access to the church from outside. The Lenten series will walk through seeing both the church and the world through different views.
