Tuesdays – March 11, 18, 25 & April 1
Refreshments 6:30 | Presentation/Discussion 7–8 pm
Happy “Dessert” Half-Hour at 6:30 p.m. in the Atrium
Even if you are giving up sweets for Lent, come and join others for a social time. The Fellowship and Member Care Ministry will provide an array of non-alcoholic drinks and home-made goodies.
Lenten Series Begins at 7 p.m. in Wright Chapel
Dr. Jim Butler will lead a four-part series on the twelve documents that make up our Presbyterian Book of Confessions. Background information about each creed/confession will be shared including the reason why it was written — what was going on in the life of the world and the church that inspired and/or necessitated it? Given the current rise of Christian nationalism, the Theological Declaration of Barmen will be given highest priority. It was written by pastors and theologians from the “Confessing Churches” inside Nazi Germany. Participants will also be encouraged to create their own “snapshot” and “cliff notes” reflecting the core affirmations of their faith and convictions. Each session will end promptly at 8 p.m.
