Lenten Book Group Wednesdays, February 25-April 1 6:00-7:00pm, Fireside Room
Nearly a decade ago, Diana Butler Bass had a unique encounter with Jesus while in the National Cathedral. For the first time in her life, she heard Jesus speaking directly to her, using five powerful words: “Get me out of here.” In Freeing Jesus, Bass challenges the idea that Jesus can only be understood in static, one-dimensional ways and asks us to instead consider a life where Jesus grows with us and helps us through life’s challenges in several capacities: as Friend, Teacher, Savior, Lord, Way, and Presence. Freeing Jesus is an invitation to rediscover Jesus beyond the narrow confines we have built around him. It renews our hope in faith and worship at a time when we need it most.
All are invited to our suppers starting at 5:30, and the book discussion starting at 6:00. How have you experienced Jesus in your life? And how is he encountering you today? We hope you will join us and make this a meaningful part of your Lenten journey.
