Lenten Studies
Beginning on March 6 and continuing through the Thursdays of Lent, there will be a lunch-time study of James Moore’s book, Give Up Something Bad for Lent. Each week we’ll gather at noon, take a few minutes to get settled, then begin our discussion of this easy-to-read but thought-provoking book. Advance reading is recommended, but only one chapter per week, and the chapters are short! You may order a copy through the church office with your payment of $9.00 no later than Tuesday, February 18, or you may download the Kindle edition from Amazon.com at a cost of $7.69. Don’t let work constraints discourage you from participating; it’s okay to come late and leave early, and we’d love to hear your voice in our discussions.
On Thursday evenings during Lent, there will be opportunities for fellowship and study for every member of our parish. Beginning on Thursday, March 13, we’ll gather in the Parish Hall for soup and bread at 6:00 p.m. After supper, our children and young people will participate in a study of Praying in Color by Sybil MacBeth. Adults will explore The Meaning of Lent and How we Observe It Through Liturgy and Worship. No advance preparation is required, unless you’d like to help with supper. A signup sheet is in the Narthex of the Church. If you have any questions, please contact Liz Segers at 223-0236 after 5:00 p.m.
