Lent/Easter 2019: Give and Take
Traditionally, we've thought of Lent as a time to 'give up' something, practicing the spiritual discipline of self-denial. However, for our Lent/Easter observations this, we'd like to hold 'giving' and 'taking' in a creative dialogue.
Are there things we would like to 'give up' or 'give away'? Is there anything we would like to 'give to' something or someone who matters to us? What do we want to 'take away' from our Lenten observations this year? Is there something we would like to 'take back', because we gave it up unwittingly and want it back, or because it caused hurt or harm? Is there something we need to 'take for' ourselves?
We'll view the readings we're following during this season through the perspectives of 'give' and 'take'. We hope you'll join us in our reflections. Please note:
1.) For the time being, our gatherings will be held in the 'L Room', with lunch at noon and a shorter service staring after we have finished (anywhere from 12:45 to 1 pm).
2.) Some of our gatherings will be full-blown worship services (what we might call 'Big Church!'). They will be noted in the list in point 3.)
3.) We're 'taking up' again the practice of an additional service at Easter. This year, we're going to celebrate the Great Vigil of Easter on April 20th, Saturday evening, beginning at 7 p.m.
