Lighthearted Scripture for Lent
"Rediscover Lent"
Matthew Kelly has a new book out, REDISCOVER LENT. It is comprised of short daily reflections, a question to meditate on and a prayer, all based on the lectionary readings for each day. While we are on this Lenten journey we will be introduced to the seven pillars of Catholic spirituality, the anchors of our faith that will help us weather life's storms.
I ordered 10 books so I have 9 books available for $10.00 each. I will leave the books with Barbara in the church office. If you are interested in joining us on Monday's at 7:00pm in the lounge (most of the time but not every time) please pick up a book from the office and leave your payment (cash or check made out to Merilee Wagner) in the envelope that will be with the books. The readings begin with Ash Wednesday.
I know that with existing busy schedules and the extra activities that lent brings a weekly get together seems taxing but the meetings won't be long and do not have to be exactly 1 hour in length. If the reflections and meditations are fresh in our hearts, as it should be if our meetings are weekly, it will be easier to have open discussions of the material and spiritual practices.
When you are picking up your book please leave your name, phone number and email address on the paper provided so we can keep in touch and so I know who to expect at our weekly discussions. Our first meeting will be February 27th in the lounge at 7:00pm.
Lent is a journey. Let's travel together.
