For four Sundays during
Lent, the LCPC Christian Education Committee invites you to stay after
worship for a light lunch and study of the new book “Sabbath in the Suburbs”
by MaryAnn McKibben Dana. She is a Presbyterian pastor in Virginia who
writes about the challenges and benefits of making space for intentional
spiritual rest and renewal. Pastor Sandy liked the book so much that she’d like
to read it with a group of you. CE is hoping that a Sunday lunch
time will allow more of you to participate than our previous
Wednesday Lent evening soup suppers & study.
Sunday, February 17th the Sabbath in the
Suburbs & lunch/class will begin, 11:30am -12:30pm.
Sunday, February 24th there will still be
lunch, Sabbath book study is on hold while LCPC Mission Committee has an event
planned for all to experience: Presenters will be LCPC members and missionaries - Stan & Mary Jeppesen sharing about their medical mission to Guatemala and Ann Powell will share about her mission trip to Kenya.
Sundays, March 3rd, 10th, and 17th: Sabbath in
the Suburbs Books study resumes for the next three Sundays. Again, lunch will
also be served.
Sunday March 24th, which is Palm Sunday - pencil in the date
and watch for more information as a Seder meal will be served as
preparation for Holy Week.
Finally: EASTER! is Sunday, March 31st this year.
You’ll be on your own for lunch, but it will be a glorious day to
celebrate in worship together!
You don’t have a copy of the book?? That’s alright here are three
ways to participate:
1) No reading necessary – come to
the study and glean from others
2) Pick up a copy of the book at
LCPC for a suggested donation of $14.
3) Download “Sabbath in the
Suburbs” to your e-reader or in a PDF Format. Visit SabbathintheSuburbs.wordpress.com to
