The season of Lent 40 days not including Sundays begins on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 17.
The Captiva Chapel by the Sea will host an outdoor service at noon that day, which will include Holy Communion and the imposition of ashes.
“For Christians all over the world, Lent is a time of self-reflection and renewal,” the Rev. Larry Marshall said. “It is an opportunity to approach the God who loves us unconditionally.”
On March 3 and 17 at noon, the chapel will celebrate with a Taize service, which is a meditative service modeled after the religious community in Taize, France. The quiet worshipful experience will include contemplation, prayer, communion and lighting a candle for prayer intentions.

Dr. Susannah Heschel, the Eli M. Black Distinguished Professor and chair of Dartmouth College’s Jewish Studies Program, who is the daughter of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, spoke during a Zoom program on Jan. 13 as the 2021 Interfaith Shared Scholar. Moderated by Sanibel Congregational United Church of Christ Rev. Dr. John Danner, it was attended by over 100 congregants from SCUCC, Bat Yam Temple of the Islands, Captiva Chapel by the Sea, Christian Science Church of Sanibel and Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church.
Heschel was asked to examine how her late father, a colleague of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., might respond to the current issues surrounding systemic racism in the United States.
