Jenny’s Corner March 6th marks the beginning of Lent which is the liturgical season

starting forty days before Easter. We will celebrate Holy Communion on Ash Wednesday. Father Benjamin

Badgett will lead the service from St. John’s Episcopal Church. During

devotions we will begin a weekly Lenten study entitled Final Words

From the Cross written by Rev. Adam Hamilton. Each week of Lent we will

discuss Jesus’ last words from the perspective of an eye-witness to the crucifixion. I’m sure we will be able to gain new insights into the events

surrounding the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
