New Book Study: Reading the Bible from the Margins by Miguel De La Torre

This introduction to “liberation theology” focuses on how issues involving race, class, and gender influence our understanding of the Bible. Describing how “standard” readings of the Bible are not always acceptable to people or groups on the “margins,” this book offers valuable new insights into biblical texts today.

EVERYONE IS INVITED TO ATTEND FMI: gjbrown58a@gmail.com

Lent and Easter 2021 Our worship series will be “Cultivating and Letting Go” where we explore Lent as a season of spiritual gardening, inviting God to unearth in us what lies fallow, what needs to be tended, and what needs to die for new life to emerge.

We have resources available to accompany you during your Lenten journey. Please contact the church office for your Lent-in-a-Box packet, which includes a weekly devotional, a finger labyrinth, prayer beads, coloring pages, and seed paper crosses (which we’ll use in worship during Lent!) Also, save the date for two Visio Divina (or “divine seeing”) sessions – Tuesday, March 9 th at 4 PM and Saturday, March 27 th at 10 AM . Much how Lectio Divina invites us to hear God speaking to us through the words of Scripture, we pair Bible passages with artwork to consider where we’re encountering God. These will be held over Zoom - Meeting ID: 815 200 0968 Palm Sunday is March 28 th , Maundy Thursday is April 1 st , Good Friday is April 2 nd , and Easter Sunday is April 4 th . Stay tuned for details about virtual gatherings for HolyWeek and for a possible Sunrise Service for Easter morning.
