Starting this week Friday: Lenten Study - “An Unlikely Lent”
The resurrection was not witnessed in isolation; it unfolded before a crowd and continues to unfold today in our own lives and those of our neighbours. Using the work of Rachel Billups, author and Senior Pastor at New Albany United Methodist Church, we will journey to the cross and explore the resurrection through the experiences of unlikely people. Alternating each week between Scripture and Indigenous Canadian film, we will listen for the presence of the Spirit. We may discover that the resurrection is not just a past event, but an invitation into something new, unexpected, and unlikely.
Dates: Friday February 20, 27, March 6, 13, 20, 27
Time: 5:30 meet and greet. 6:00 dinner (provided), plus a movie or story. 7:15ish-7:45 study groups.
Room: Rainbow Room
Register: cgibbs@christchurchdeerpark.org
