After-Supper Programming
-
Children: Emma McFarlane will offer Lenten curriculum and activities upstairs in the Sunday School room.
-
Tweens: Kids will explore the meaning of prayer while creating prayer candles, table-top labyrinths, and prayer beads. Facilitated by Elizabeth Cleveland, Spencer Ballou, and Liz Pearce. Upstairs in the Meditation Room.
-
Youth: Teens will work on their own in the upstairs Youth Room to explore the meaning of prayer and to create prayer candles, table-top labyrinths, and prayer beads.
-
Adults: Rev. Dale will facilitate a discussion and exploration of the famous “servant songs” from the prophet Isaiah. These short, evocative poems have greatly influenced our understanding of Jesus’ ministry and the why of his suffering. You will no doubt recognize many lines from them. Each night will start with a meditative reading of a different “song,” followed by small group discussions involving artistic images. Our weekly questions: What do tonight’s poem and images reveal about Jesus? How do they challenge us as disciples and as the Church? In the Parish Hall.

Join the virtual Lenten Text Chain: Using Images and Daily Devotions from "PRAYER: 40 Days of Practice". FYI: Due to tech limitations, this group is limited to 20 folks. Vestry member Alyssa Ward is facilitating the group, email her to join!
