Ash Wednesday, February 13, 2013
At St. Peter’s Anglican Church Tallahassee:
The penitential service of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 13, and encompasses the forty days before Easter [March 31.]
Ash Wednesday Services with the Imposition of Ashes will be held at 12:10 and 7:00 pm on the 13th. There will be no Wednesday night dinner or classes that evening.
Here is a Lenten meditation, in the form of a sermon, by the Rev. Dr. Michael Petty.
This sermon is a concise yet deeply theological reflection on the meaning of the Last Supper and the Eucharist.

The text is Luke 22.14-23: [English Standard Version]
14 And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him.
15 And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
16 For I tell you I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
17 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he said, “Take this, and divide it among yourselves.
18 For I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
19 And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
20 And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.
21 But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.
22 For the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!”
23 And they began to question one another, which of them it could be who was going to do this.
