For centuries, the Christian church has spent the forty days leading up to Easter in a time of spiritual preparation. This season, known as Lent, invites us to walk with Jesus through his final days on earth—examining our own lives in the process, and deepening our connection with God.
Throughout Lent, we will have the opportunity to deepen our experience of Christ’s Passion through worship and an accompanying Lenten study based on Amy-Jill Levine’s Witness at the Cross: A Beginner’s Guide to Holy Friday. Together we will experience the Crucifixion from the perspective of those who witnessed it firsthand: Jesus’ mother, Mary; the Beloved Disciple; the Roman soldiers; the two criminals crucified beside Jesus; and others who were present at that pivotal moment in history. In contemplating their unique stories, we will experience the depth and power of the Cross in new ways and come away with a greater appreciation for his resurrection.
The study, which does not require any additional reading, will meet in the 308 building immediately after worship beginning March 9. All are welcome. If you would like to participate, please register here.
