Diocese Lenten Bible Study - ONLINE
2026-02-22 19:00 - 21:00 | ONLINE, Canada
Join Bible Remixed for a free online Lent course, “The Way of the Cross and a Crucified People,” to be held Sunday nights from Feb. 22 to March 29. What happens if we read Jesus’ walk to the cross in light of current realities? Weaving together scriptural story, Palestinian liturgy and Lenten self-reflection, this journey to the cross will deeply ground us in the story of Jesus’ passion as seen in today’s world. This is a free study, funded by the Diocese of Toronto. It will be led by Dr. Sylvia Keesmaat, and Bishop Andrew Asbil will join the course every second week. To register, visit the Bible Remixed website.
This study is for anyone who seeks a deeper understanding of the Bible and its relation to contemporary life. All are welcome, regardless of denominational or religious affiliation. No prior knowledge of the Bible is necessary.
Each session will be recorded and the link will be sent out to all participants. Registrants can also follow the entire study through the recordings.
There are no assignments and no required reading for this study, although suggestions for further reading will be made as the study progresses.

ONLINE - Evening Prayer - followed by Bible study - Week 1: Malchus
2026-02-25 19:00 - 20:00 | ONLINE, Canada
During this holy season of Lent, you are warmly invited to join us on Zoom for a weekly Wednesday service of Evening Prayer, followed by an optional Bible Study for those who wish to stay. These Evening Prayer Services start at 7pm.
This year, our Lenten journey will be shaped by the voices and stories of people who stood near the events of Christ’s Passion and Resurrection—some faithful, some fearful, some flawed, all profoundly human.
Each week, we will reflect on one character and consider what their experience might reveal about our own walk with Christ.
Weekly Themes

February 25 @7pm – Malchus

A servant caught in the chaos of Jesus’ arrest, whose encounter with Christ becomes unexpectedly healing.

March 4 @ 7 pm – Judas Iscariot

A disciple whose choices challenge us to wrestle with betrayal, regret, and the mystery of grace.

March 11 @7pm – The Centurion

A Roman soldier whose moment of recognition at the cross still echoes through Christian confession.

March 18 @ 7 pm – Joseph of Arimathea

A quiet, courageous figure who steps forward when hope seems lost.

March 25 @ 7pm – The Women & the Emmaus Road Travellers

Witnesses of Resurrection—those who ran to the tomb, those who walked the long road, and those whose hearts burned within them.

Format

Evening Prayer (approx. 20–25 minutes)

A simple, peaceful liturgy to end the day.

Optional Bible Study

A time for conversation, questions, and deeper reflection on the week’s character.
