Weekly Zoom Devotional Discussion
Tuesdays beginning March 8, 6:30-7:00 pm
Over the season of Lent, our congregation will join New Hope, St. Paul, and St. Mark for a brief weekly devotional on Zoom. Using the materials from the daily devotional, this time will allow for us to slow down in order to connect with God and each other.

This year our Lenten theme will be "Full to the Brim."
Full to the Brim is an invitation—into a radically different Lent, into a full life. The assigned Lectionary passages for this year are filled with parables and promises of God's abundant and expansive grace. Jesus as a mother hen, a prodigal son welcomed home, a fig tree nurtured with care and hope, precious oil poured out lovingly and freely, stones shouting out with praise—these sacred texts are brimming with a gospel of grace. They invite each of us to be authentically who we are, to counter scarcity and injustice at every turn, to pour out even more grace wherever it is needed.
Please join us during this Lenten season as we allow ourselves to be filled to the brim with God's lavish, overflowing love.
