Welcome to this most sacred of seasons when we journey with Jesus liturgically from Galilee to Jerusalem and from death to new life. Lent is a season in which we enter into Jesus' passion in order that we might likewise know more fully resurrection life. You are invited to join in the various activities that are taking place both here at Cox Memorial and at any of the five other churches that make up the Kennebec River Cooperative Parish. You can find these activities listed on the "Kennebec River Churches" page.

Theme: Deep Feeling and New Life- The story of raising of Lazarus is one of the most illuminating stories in the gospels as to the deep feelings that Jesus experienced. More than once Jesus is said to have “loved” Lazarus along with his sisters and when faced with the reality of Lazarus’ death and the deep grief that his sisters and neighbors were experiencing, Jesus himself weeps with grief as well. Out of these deep feelings of love and grief though came new life.
