On February 8, we will have a table set up for everyone to sign up for a group and to pick up a book. Lent will be here before we know it. Ash Wednesday is on February 18, and we will likely have an early evening service before choir meets. The book is called An Altar in the World: A Geography of Faith. The practices are things like “carrying water” and “getting lost” – not exactly names of practices we’ve heard of before now. The plan is to read about the practice we talk about on Sunday and then meet to talk about it the following week. The chapters are short and interesting! The groups will last for 6 weeks (until Easter, April 5) unless your group decides to continue with the rest of the book together. Pastor Robin is encouraging everyone in the church to sign up for a group. Lent is a perfect time to work on deepening your faith, and we need community during this time when things are changing so fast that we can’t keep up!
