The season of Lent in the church year is one of contemplation, prayer, and growth. This year as members of St. John’s UMC, we invite you during Lent to join with other members for small group gatherings. We will be using Bishop Ken Carder’s book, Shifting Margins, as a springboard for sharing and reflection upon our own faith formation. How did our early years of life influence our faith development? How have our views changed about how we meet and minister with our brothers and sisters who live on the margins of society? How are our views of race, incarceration, and aging shifting? In light of these important concerns, where and how do you see yourself responding as members of the Body of Christ who call St. John’s home?

Each small group will have 6-8 members, including the co-leaders. Choose a small group according to where you live, time frame offered, or leadership. Please sign up on Sunday. 

 

 The groups will meet through five weeks of Lent, March 9–April 12. If you have questions, please ask Mary Leslie Ramsey - mldramsey57@gmail.com
