This Sunday, February 8: LENT: Part 1-Holy Interruptions: A Lenten Wilderness Training and Survival Kit- What's it about? Lent is a strange-and diversely celebrated-holy period for Christians. For basically 1/10th of the year, we get to ask ourselves what it meant to be Jesus, and perhaps what it means to be Jesus' companero. And so we might think of Lent as somehow "special" or even "unreal"…something out of the ordinary. However, what if Lent is the ordinary reality of discipleship, and its interruption is a kind of spiritual power? Whoa! Lent could be an explosive time! Come and get your Lenten tune-up!
This session will be brought to you by the word "interruption." Presenter Marc Mullinax teaches religious studies, philosophy, critical thinking, the examined life, and world religions at Mars Hill University and Ewha Women's University in Seoul, Korea. He enjoys bringing insights (or is it spelled "incites"?) from these subjects to faith congregations in the WNC area. An "unrepentant Baptist minister," he looks forward to a lively time of discussion at Frist Congregational!
