Lenten Sunday Forum – Entering the Passion of Jesus
Journey through the last days of Jesus from the perspective of those who were involved in the events. Each Sunday after the 10 AM service, we will gather in Parish Hall for discussion and a short video presentation by Dr. Amy-Jill Levine. Prof. Levine sets the narrative in historical context and analyzes the risks and motives of the story’s characters. “If you’re looking for a truly unique Lenten study that will take you deeper into Holy Week…then Entering the Passion of Jesus is for you.” Brant Pitre, Augustine Institute, author of Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist.

Please join us for a Lenten quiet day, as we prepare to enter Holy Week. We will start the day with Morning Prayer in the Memorial Garden (weather permitting) and will continue with reflections on Stations of the Cross, and discussion, led by Mother Busto. There will be ample time for silence, to sit or walk around the church grounds, and to journal, draw, or write prayers, as the Spirit moves you.
Refreshments and snacks will be provided. Please bring a notepad and pen or pencil. All are welcome.
