SUMMARY:2025 Lenten Study
DESCRIPTION:Join a Lenten Study Group! Each year for the season of Lent\, we invite the community to participate in a book study that helps prepare our hearts and minds for Easter — the celebration of the resurrection of our Lord\, Jesus. This year\, we will be reading From Wilderness to Glory by N.T. Wright which contain daily devotions that start on Ash Wednesday and walk all the way through Holy Week! Join us on this adventure of experiencing Lent anew! Click this link for more information and to join a group for discussion and community building. Questions? Contact Pastor Chris Baldwin for more information. \nStudy Glimpse: The church has always known that the best way for us to be shaped into the people God wants us to be — the people whose difference from the world around is vital to our witness — is to think and pray slowly and carefully through the stories of Jesus’ life\, death and resurrection. In From Wilderness to Glory\, best-selling and beloved author N. T. Wright encourages readers to do just that throughout the seasons of Lent and Easter. Join us for a season of study and reflection by reading these daily devotions in a small group or read it on your own. \n2025 Lenten Study Groups:\n1.

SUMMARY:Praying the Psalms: How do we pray in times such as these?
DESCRIPTION:Wednesdays October 23 – November 13\, 7:00 – 8:30 p.m.\, in the Chapel \nWanting to go more in depth with your own prayer life? Then join Pastor Jane to explore the prayers in the book of Psalms which speak to the vast expanse of human experience and emotion (from lament and rage to joy and praise). With the current turmoil and chaos in our world\, the psalms give us words to pray. They teach us how to tell our story\, cry out in pain\, and show us ways to move towards praise and gratitude for God’s faithfulness\, the community around us\, and the beauty of the created world. \nRegister Here
