Reisterstown United Methodist Church

• Lenten Studies:

In our 2017 Lenten Journey, we will be focusing on Living Gospeled Lives.  The life of a Christian is shaped by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  John Indermark describes a disciple's life as being "gospeled," making a verb of "gospel to offer new insight on the process of being shaped by the life and ministry of Jesus Christ.  During this season, we will reflect on how our lives are gospeled and where we need the Gospel to shape and mold us in the ways of Jesus.

· Ash Wednesday, March 1 - Two services with imposition of ashes and

reflection on the Lenten Journey.  Services at noon and 7 PM.

· Community Journey Wednesdays in Lent:  Gospeled Lives 

Six congregations in our community will join in a meal, fellowship, worship and study on 5 Wednesdays in Lent, 12 to 1:30 and 6:00 to 7:30 PM. Come for as long as you can stay (we expect that some folks will be on their lunch break, for instance), and enjoy a simple meal (soup, sandwich and cookies, for example).
