Lent and Holy Week

Posted on

The season of Lent is one of returning and remembering - as light returns to our hemisphere in the lengthening of spring days, we are invited to turn to the light of Christ in anticipation of Holy Week and Easter - a sacred season of thanksgiving for Jesus and all he has done for us through his life, death, and resurrection. In John 14:19 Jesus says, "In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me; because I live, you also will live." This Lent, let us invite each other to look for Jesus in our worship of God, fellowship with one another, and service to our neighbors.

Congregational Read & Potluck Dinner

This Lent, you are invited to read "Meeting Jesus at the Table", a Lenten Bible Study that explores the intersection of Jesus and the Table of God in food and feasting. Our Sunday morning sermon series will be based on readings from this study, and Adult Sunday School is focusing on each lesson. Books are available for purchase at the Welcome Desk on Sunday mornings or in the office from 9:00-1:00 Monday-Friday, the suggested donation is $10 and can be paid online (select Misc. and include "Congregational Read" in the memo line) or by check or cash.

On Wednesday, March 29th, 6 p.m., a potluck dinner will be held to reflect on this book, share our learnings, and have fellowship with one another in anticipation of Holy Week. More details will be shared as the event draws near.

Please bring a item to share with the pantry.
