Wednesday Lenten Supper Series: Please join us for our Lenten Supper Series in the parish hall at 6:30 p.m. each Wednesday in Lent! We will have a covered dish supper and a program to follow. Our Lenten Series this year is “Entering the Passion of Jesus” by New Testament scholar, AJ Levine. In Entering the Passion of Jesus, author, professor, and biblical scholar Amy-Jill Levine explores the biblical texts surrounding the Passion story. She shows us how the text raises ethical and spiritual questions for the reader, and how we all face risk in our Christian experience. We need volunteers to sign up on the bulletin board to set-up and clean-up! We ask that volunteers for set-up arrive 30 minutes early (by 6:00 p.m.).
