WEDNESDAYS IN LENT: (Sundays & Holy Week schedule found below) ALTERED BY THE SPIRIT
Join us on Wednesdays during Lent to dig deeper into the Lenten Theme Altered by the Spirit. Wednesday’s readings will come from the Book of Acts and will be tied to a common element that is often broken, reformed, transformed or altered to create something new. Come see how the Spirit is calling each of us to become altered by this new time together, through the Lenten journey of reflection and self-examination, of this identity in which we seek to discover and claim as our own here at Our Savior’s.
March 13: Acts 10:1-16, 34=35, 44-47 Altered by Disruption – Mosaic pieces
March 20: Acts 12:6-17 Altered Through Stories We Don’t Trust – Candles
March 28: Maundy Thursday ~ Love Altered 6pm
March 29: Good Friday ~ Violence Altered 6pm
LENT THEME: ALTERED BY THE SPIRIT
Lent is often a time of self-reflection, spiritual discipline, commitment, and community. Congregations gather to sing the minor harmonies of the way of Jesus on the road toward the cross. This Lent with Church Anew, however, we are going to look at a kaleidoscope of stories from the Book of Acts, with Revised Common Lectionary suggestions that pair directly with the theme. We’ll see the ways the Spirit alters our perspective, transforms our communities, and consistently blazes a trail ahead of us. We’ll catch up with the work of the Holy Spirit, finding ourselves altered. Because the Spirit is alive in, with, and under our ordinary lives, always calling us forward into transformation, nudging us into wholeness, and beckoning us forth into an alternative way.
