Thursday Evenings in Lent 2018
Genesis Matters:
Five Moments in Genesis that Anticipate
Jesus Christ and Why Every Christian Should Know Them
TONIGHT - March 8
Jacob is, by mere seconds, the younger brother of his twin, Esau. Even as he left the womb, he was trying to supplant his older brother because in Hebrew society in that day, the oldest brother got every earthly preferment. See how God uses the wiley, weaselly way of Jacob to prepare us for what Our Savior will have to endure.
Thursday Evenings in Lent (click for more info)
Taught by The Rev. Christopher Powell
We begin with Compline at 6PM, followed by supper at 6:15PM in the McClain room and the program portion of the evening from 7:00-7:45PM in the Lea Room.
