Rector's Lenten Book Group
2021-03-24 12:00 - 13:00, 2021-03-31 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Zoom, Virtual or Life-streamed
This Lent, Rector Chris Craun will be using 40-Day Journey with Howard Thurman as a daily practice of reflection, prayer and writing. She will be offering space for mutual sharing and conversation on Wednesdays at noon, starting February 24, throughout the season. Please email her if you would like to receive the Zoom link.
From Amazon: “Howard Thurman was an influential American author, philosopher, theologian, educator, and civil rights leader. Strongly influenced by his grandmother, a former slave, who raised him and a Quaker mystic under whom he studied, Thurman adopted a philosophy of activism rooted in faith, guided by spirit, and maintained in peace. Editor Donna Schaper selects forty inspiring passages from the works of this spiritual advisor to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to accompany readers on their own spiritual journeys. Ideal for traveling through the seasons of Advent and Lent.”

Tuesday Evenings in Lent: Feasting on the Word
2021-03-30 18:30 - 20:00 | Zoom, Virtual or Life-streamed
Do you have a devotional practice around what you read in the morning? Would you like to develop one? Many people of prayer have kept books of inspirational texts and poetry nearby to tune their hearts with first thing in the morning. This is actually a very ancient practice in which monks would read aloud spiritual classics to one another during their times of prayer. During these six weeks, we’ll take a look at some of the texts which have been used for this purpose throughout the Church’s history as well as what contemporary quotes, authors, and poems we might want to include today. Each week will revolve around a major topic of faith, and throughout the course we’ll work on creating our own scrapbooks or notebooks of key texts that we wish to use to remind ourselves daily of the God we seek to find in our lives and the world. This class will meet Tuesday nights from February 23rd-March 30th from 6:30-8:00 pm.
