Lent is a season of reflection and introspection, but it's also a time for community. As we journey toward Easter, we find strength and encouragement in walking alongside one another. At Memorial, we have a wealth of opportunities to connect and grow together during this sacred season.
This past Wednesday, we began our ecumenical Lenten services at First Presbyterian Church, where Rev. Tiffany Gulana of Prince Chapel AME Church delivered a powerful and hope-filled sermon. It was a beautiful example of our community coming together in faith. This week, we continue our ecumenical journey at St. Peter's Episcopal Church, where I will have the privilege of sharing a message. I invite you to join us this Wednesday at noon for this meaningful time of worship.
Our Wednesday evenings are also enriched by our Pastors' Study, delving into Amy-Jill Levine's "Difficult Words of Jesus." This is a fantastic chance to delve deeper into scripture and engage in thoughtful discussion with fellow believers.
This Sunday, March 16th, we have another wonderful opportunity to connect – our Church-wide Potluck after worship. This is a perfect way to meet new people, share a meal, and build relationships across our whole church family.
And next Thursday, March 20th, our Wesley Dinner Club will gather for the next of our "Faith Seeking Understanding" series of panel conversations. This month, we'll hear from a panel of local women as they share some of their experiences and challenges. This is a valuable opportunity for us to learn and grow by listening to the stories of others.
Lent is not meant to be a solitary journey. It's a time to lean on one another, to share our faith, and to support each other as we grow closer to Christ. I extend a warm invitation to each of you to join us for any or all of these opportunities. Come and experience the joy of community as we journey through Lent together.
Let us find strength in fellowship, Memorial.
Blessings,
Pastor Charlie
