St. Peter’s Episcopal church, located at 11 White Street in Rockland, will offer the following activities in Lent:

• Ash Wednesday, February 14. Services of Holy Eucharist, including imposition of ashes, will be offered at 7:00 a.m., 12:00 noon, and 5:30 p.m. The noon and evening services will be spoken services.

• Lunch Conversations with Rector Lael Sorensen. Tuesdays, February 13, 20, 27 and March 5 and 12 in the Vestry Room, located opposite the parish office, at 11:30 a.m. All are invited to bring a bag lunch and discuss the upcoming Sunday Scripture readings, as well as brief reflections and prayers from What Were You Arguing About along the Way? by Pádraig Ó Tuama. Participants may purchase the book or refer to handouts that will be provided.

• Rite of Reconciliation will be offered on Fridays in Lent on request. The reconciliation of a penitent is a sacrament in the Episcopal Church and refers to private confession. The Episcopal Church's stance on such confession is usually talked about as something that “all may, none must, some should” engage in. For more information or to schedule the rite, email  Lael Sorensen at  rector.stpetersrockland@gmail.com
