Whether you know a lot (or a little) about the story of Jesus, join us! Together, we will explore the significance and sacredness of Lent
Join us on Zoom for a 6-week Lenten Bible Study in which we will explore themes of devotion, opposition, freedom, courage, companionship and alliance.
Our study will be based on Rachel Billups' book An Unlikely Lent: Extraordinary People of the Easter Story. You can purchase the book, however, you should feel no pressure to do so. Key points from each chapter will be summarized in a 10-minute video screened at the start of each session.
What you can anticipate from these sessions:
- Learn more about the story of Jesus, and lesser-known biblical figures
- (re)Discover the significance of Lent
- Meet new people, and be part of open and rich conversation
- Prayer (sessions will open and close in prayer)
- These sessions are for everyone. Whether you know a lot or a little about the story of Jesus as told in the Gospels, or you're just starting to explore your faith and Christianity - you are welcome.
What do you need:
- Nothing! This is a cost-free event. However, if you have a Bible please bring it. If you do not have a Bible and would like one, let Rev. Julielee know.
More about the Book: The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus are at the heart of the story of Easter. But the resurrection was not witnessed in isolation; it unfolded before a crowd. What might the stories of those women and men teach us today? Gain new insight from the crowd on the themes of: -Devotion -Opposition -Freedom -Courage -Companionship -Alliances... By seeing the Easter story through their eyes, we may discover that the resurrection is not just a past event, but an invitation into something new, unexpected, and unlikely. Walk through this season with eyes wide open, ready to see where God is moving, even in the margins.
Host: This event is offered by the people of Sand Hill and St. John's Presbyterian Churches. These two warm and welcoming rural churches meet weekly at 9:30 a.m. (2720 Sand Hill Road) and 11 a.m. (2360 Middle Road). Sessions will be led by Rev. Julielee Stitt.
