Light in the Midst of Lent: The Week ahead at Saint D’s.
The Fourth Sunday of Lent, opportunities for fellowship and service, and a look ahead to Holy Week.
Life at Saint Dunstan’s continues to unfold during this season of Lent.
From study and fellowship to service and preparation for Holy Week, there are many ways to stay connected with one another and with God’s work in our community.
We gather each Sunday at 10:00am for Holy Communion.
Children begin the morning in the Rooted Together Chapel, where they experience worship and formation designed especially for them.
During the service they return to the church to rejoin the congregation for Communion.
You can find the Sunday worship bulletin and this week’s Dunstan Bell on our worship page:
