Lenten Devotional Series 2015

FROM ASHES TO STARDUST...LENT 2015

The Season of Lent invites all of us to look within and examine the various landscapes of our heart and reflect upon our personal faith journey.  As we travel with Jesus through the wilderness, and explore his teachings and wade through the darkness of fear, betrayal, and death to the transcendence of his resurrection, we hope to help you to engage in new and ever meaningful ways. Each week we will be investigating the themes of the season through scripture, poetry, prayer, blessings and a vast array of personal stories, and reflections. 

We are seeking out members of all ages to share their thoughts about the following topics: Wilderness; Refuge/Sanctuary; Healing; Comfort; Struggle; Peace; Emergence/Transcendence;Obedience and the ways in which God is still speaking.  

We will share these reflections everyday throughout Lent electronically (email, via Kevan's blog and Facebook) as well as through weekly summations that will be available at worship.  We will get a chance to soak in the ponderings and tales of many of our members, and - best of all - respond in writing and dialogue in our journals, on line and in person.  What better way to engage our spirit and embrace and celebrate the wonder and mystery of God's love and our collective human stories?

 Pastor Kevan, Nancy Boorman and Jodi Kirk are spearheading this exciting endeavor and are looking for guest writers to share their experiences and interested in talking to anyone who has a story to share.  Please join in this opportunity to share and grow and connect !
