Have a Beautiful, Terrible Lent Kate Bowler Study Group
7:00pm Monday| Host: Vicar Hayley | Hybrid
Lent is full of hard truths. And it is a perfect moment for spiritual honesty. We can look on this tragicomedy with love and bemusement as we wait for the someday that will be God’s promised future. There, God’s kingdom comes. God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven. And in the meantime, there’s this…our beautiful, terrible days.
Walking with the Gospel of Mark Through Lent
7pm Tuesdays| Host: Pastor Danielle | TBD Pending on Preference
Mark is my favorite Gospel! There is an urgency to Mark that feels raw and real. And Mark is our assigned Gospel for this lectionary year. As we begin the Lenten season, walk hand in hand with Jesus by walking with Mark.
Again & Again | A Journey Through Lent
Wednesdays | Host: Katie Crockford | Hybrid
In Lent, we’re reminded that, again & again, suffering and brokenness find us. We doubt again, we lament again, we mess up again. Again & again, the story of Jesus on the cross repeats—every time lives are taken unjustly, every time the powerful choose corruption and violence, every time individuals forget how to love. With exacerbation we exclaim, “Again?! How long, O God?” And yet, in the midst of the motion blur chaos of our lives, God offers a sacred refrain: “I choose you, I love you, I will lead you to repair.” Again & again, God breaks the cycle and offers us a new way forward.
Faith, Sexism and Justice |
A Call to Action
TBD, Pending on Interest
In 2019, the ELCA adopted the Faith, Sexism and Justice Social Statement. But Social Statements are only pieces of paper if they aren’t lived out. Gather as we explore this new statement, discern how we can live into the the action it calls for, and create together a world that honors all people and all genders.
Lutherans Who Lunch | Isaiah
1pm Thursdays | Host: Pastor Danielle | Zoom
(Note: This group starts Feb 1)
Gather on Thursdays at 1pm during your lunch break (via zoom) to explore the book of Isaiah, the first of the major prophets. No previous experience necessary! Deepen your faith, your knowledge and in community.
Confirmation for Adults!
10am Sundays | Host: Varies | In-person
Often we think of Confirmation as a type of graduation. A one off chance to learn more about our faith and then we are done at the ripe old age of early-teenhood. But faith is ever evolving! Explore some of the foundations of our faith, whether you’ve been through confirmation or not!
