Salem Lenten Practices:

The liturgical season of Lent encourages repentance and prayer, worship and meditation, and care for the needs of others.  During Lent we commune at the altar rail each weekend, kneeling as able to humble ourselves before this great gift.  Pastor Janet will distribute wafers and the Assisting Minister will offer a choice of either wine or white grape juice.  There will also be water in the baptismal font, inviting worshippers to dip their fingers and make the sign of the cross on their foreheads in remembrance of their baptism.  Most melodies for the liturgy will be familiar, but we will introduce new tunes for the Kyrie and Gospel Acclamation from Setting 10.
