The Passion Story
- Journey to the Cross
Lent Series - February 22 - April 5th
Lent is the 40-day season of preparation for Easter. Worship in this season is marked by a more intentional somber tone, introspection, prayer, penitence, silence, and simplicity. This year we follow again the “Lenten Guided Prayer.” We will pray through and reflect on (via lectio divina) the Scripture passages that cover the narrative of Jesus’ journey to the cross (mostly from Matthew 26 and 27). These passages will guide our worship as well. For more details on events during lent check out Ruth Ann’s Worship blog.
February 22nd
Join us Sunday morning at 10 am in person or online. Pastor of Pastoral Care Jolene Veenstra will begin our Lent Series “The Passion Story - Journey to the Cross” with a look at Matthew 26:1-16 - “I Love to Meditate on Your Law.”
On the first Sunday of Lent we're going to kick off Lenten Guided prayer together. We'll start with an introduction to Lectio Divina, locating it in scripture and in our cultural/historical traditions. Then we'll switch into contemplative mode and try this practice together. Hopefully we'll have some meaningful moments to share with one another afterwards over coffee. Just as a heads up, this will feel different. Rather than trying to listen to the preacher, we'll be trying to listen to the spirit as we meditate on God's word.
