ADULT ED, 9:00 a.m. During Lent, we will look at the last week of Jesus’ life as recorded in the Gospel of John. This Sunday, Fr. Bud will lead a discussion about these scriptures: John 11:45-57 (The plot to kill Jesus), and 12:1-8 (Mary anoints Jesus).
Lenten Quiet Afternoon: Practicing the Presence of God
Sunday, March 13
12:00 noon – 3:00 pm in the West Wing
The season of Lent, which begins on Ash Wednesday, is a period of time to strengthen and nourish our spiritual lives as we prepare for the miracle of the Resurrection on Easter.
Thus on the first Sunday of Lent, you are invited to a Lenten Quiet Afternoon which will provide an opportunity to explore a variety of spiritual practices through Bible study, prayer, small group discussion and time for personal reflection.
Bring a sack lunch – tea and coffee provided – and join with others in the parish for an afternoon of spiritual refreshment.
Facilitated by Paula Franck and Chris Thurston
