Lenten Dinners and Programs
March 1: After sharing a meal in the Christian Education building, lower level, we will learn from Br. Micah Sadigh. His topic is “Spirituality as A Source of Meaning and an Instrument for Healing.” His presentation will introduce the Cloud of Unknowing, contemplative prayer, the meaning of healing.
March 8, 15, and 22 we will have various presenters, including Pastor Maggie Wellert. We will move into the meaning of Lent, the significance of prayer as part of our Lenten devotion, and share in some older prayer practices.
We will experience the practice of contemplative prayer, as introduced by Brother Micah, and share in devotional ways of engaging with Scripture readings, either individually or in small groups. This will include guided imagery—imagining yourself in a story, and what you learn from that experience.
We will also work with an African Bible Study method from the Anglican Church, a variation of the monastery practice of “lectio divina,” holy reading.
On the last evening of the series, March 29, after we break bread together, we will close our time with a Contemplative Worship in the Old Chapel. Cars will be available to help you get from Nitschmann Hall to the Chapel, if that walk is too challenging.
The invitation of “Create Deep in Me,” is to expand our heart relationship with God, to notice a closer connection, and share in God’s deepening Presence in life. Feel free to join us for any or all of these Midweek Lenten services.
