Lenten Discussion Series
On Tuesday evenings in March from 6:00—8:00 pm at Chef Alan’s in West Reading (the back room), we gather with our Christ Church friends to discuss Reformation history, theology and English reform.

Note: Sundays and Seasons suggests that we provide rough (not smooth) stones for members. They are to represent sin and the jagged experiences of life. They suggest having a cross shape outdoors for the stones to be placed on Good Friday or Easter, or to have a large cross in a container indoors, into which the stones can be placed. Each could signify Jesus’ taking our sins to the cross, bringing forgiveness. Let’s talk! Preacher chooses 1 or 2 reading/s and prepares 5 minute meditation on the theme. |
