For the past six years, Fr. Humphrey has taken us on journeys into Narnia during Lent, through the Wardrobe and aboard the Dawn Treader, on quests in The Silver Chair, Prince Caspian, and The Horse and His Boy, and through The Magician’s Nephew, which tells the story of Narnia’s creation and fall. This year, Fr. Humphrey will lead us on a Lenten journey as we contemplate the end of Narnia—and of our own world—through the apocalyptic vision of The Last Battle.

Beginning on the second Friday in Lent, March 3rd, Fr. Humphrey will be leading this family-oriented program over five Friday nights from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. It will follow Mass and Stations of the Cross in the church, beginning in the Dining Hall with a potluck supper and continuing with an hour of multimedia presentation and intergenerational activities, including drama, discussion, crafts, and small group interaction.

As in years past, Fr. Humphrey will select readings and gear activities to all developmental levels, keeping younger children particularly in mind. At the same time, even though the program is oriented toward families with children, knowing that past programs have attracted a wide spectrum of participants, Fr. Humphrey will again be designing this year’s program so as to have the broadest possible appeal.

Though not strictly necessary in order to enjoy the program, Fr. Humphrey recommends individuals and families read the first three chapters in advance of the first session. Please bring your book with you to the program.

Fr. Humphrey is grateful for the able assistance for the fifth year in a row of Kristin Davidson, as well as the creative vision and talent of other parishioners, who will be transforming the Dining Hall into Narnia!
