Join us each Sunday in Lent in Draesel Hall or online at https://zoom.us/j/8753617165 (for the password, type the numbers for eighteen ninety-nine, two thousand nineteen. No comma or space.)

We conclude our discussion this Sunday with Chapter 6 and the Conclusion, which can be read HERE.

This Lent, we’ll be reading joining our link parish, St. Stephen’s, Rochester Row, London, to read a book the Archbishop of Canterbury chose especially for the Season of Lent several years ago.

Saying Yes to Life lifts our focus from every day (and perfectly natural) concerns to issues that are impacting millions of lives around the world. As people made in the image of God, we are entrusted to look after what God has made – to share in the joy and creativity of God in making a difference for good. Ruth Valerio imaginatively draws on the Days of Creation (Genesis 1 - 2.2) in relating themes of light, water, land, the seasons, other creatures, humankind, Sabbath rest and resurrection hope to matters of environmental, ethical and social concern. Foundational to the book are what it means to be human and, in particular, to be a follower of Jesus during Lent. Voices from other continents are heard throughout, and each chapter ends with discussion questions, a prayer, and specially commissioned art to aid action and contemplation.
