Ash Wednesday and Mid-Week Lenten Dinners and Program
Each Wednesday in Lent, Feb. 14 – March 20, we invite all to join us for dinner at 6 p.m. in the Christian Education building’s lower level followed by a program at 7 p.m. This Lent, we journey with the disciple Peter, in whose journey we can often see ourselves; a person who is both steadfast and unsteady, a dear friend and a betrayer, a follower and a wanderer. For each step along the path, we follow the lyrics of the hymn “Come Thou Fount” as we hear from speakers, experience art, music and journaling and most importantly join together as a community of faith. Please share widely – all are welcome!
Feb. 14 Ash Wednesday / Dinner: Sacristans ’Corp
Ash Wednesday: 7 p.m. worship service in the Old Chapel, with the option of ashes at the end.
Feb. 21 “Jesus Sought Me” Luke 5:1-10 / Dinner: Men’s Bible Study and Moravian Women
Who is the disciple Peter? Our student pastor Josh Follweiler will lead us through the Peter stories of this complicated disciple whose humanity often mirrors our struggles in faith.
Feb. 28 “Praise the Mount” Matthew 16:13-20, Psalm 19 / Dinner: Music Ministry Program
It’s easy to praise God when we’re in the midst of a Mountaintop experience! It’s easy to declare with every breath in our body, “YES, Lord! You are the Messiah, the Son of God.” But what happens when that Mountaintop feeling leaves us, and we find our souls journeying in the wilderness? Our Minister of Music, Becky Lepore, will lead us in a time of reflection as we explore hymns that can serve as a musical compass in reviving our soul and restoring us to a place of praise and thanksgiving.
March 6 “Rescue me from danger” Matthew 14:22-33 / Dinner: Youth Group/CE Committee
Dr. Micah Sadigh will lead a discussion about how we are built for community (Genesis 2), as we see Peter leaving his own community of disciples. Where are we in the world of loneliness, social media expectations, etc. and how to they affect our mental health?
March 13 “I’m fixed upon it” Matthew 16:21-23 / Dinner: Joint Board
Using the spiritual practice of Visio Divina, we’ll examine different pieces of art relating to Peter’s stories and ask how art can enlarge our perceptive, and give us grace to listen to another’s point of view?
March 20 “Teach Me”. Matthew 18:15-22 / Dinner: Busy Workers
We journey through a traditional Holy Week practice of “Stations of the Cross” but this time with the stories and lessons from Peter; Art, Music and Journaling practices.
