LENTEN & EASTER
Events
LENTEN BOOK STUDY
March 4-April 8 | 10 am or 6:30 pm | Room 151 6-Week Study on "Hard to Dance With the Devil On Your Back" by Ray Buckley. Led by Rev. Kay Lancaster. Books available in the office We are planning to make this Lent a time of strict discipline because that is what we have always done. When we treat Lent in this way, it is easy to understand how Lent could come from lentus, because the forty days certainly can seem to drag by slowly.
PALM SUNDAY
Maybe we should relook at our understanding of Lent? Maybe we should view Lent as a time when we become more flexible? Maybe Lent should be a time when we focus on being less severe, and less harsh with those we disagree with? Maybe following Jesus isn’t about getting more serious, maybe following Jesus is about becoming less rigid and more joyous?
HOLY THURSDAY SUPPER & WORSHIP
Maybe we should quit viewing Lent like we always have? Maybe we should all relearn, reframe, and reimagine how we experience Lent? It’s spring, new life is in bloom everywhere we look. Let’s quit treating Lent in tired, cliched ways and let’s see what blooms in us.
