Lent 2010 – Bread for the Journey
Jesus said, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” John 6:35 These are words to chew on and digest and hunger for, all the days of our lives. But during Lent this year, we hope you will reflect on how Jesus is our Bread for the Journey. Check out all the amazing ways you can experience Jesus as bread beginning Feb 17, with Ash Wednesday!
Lenten Retreat: February 25-27: Join us at St. Malo’s Retreat Center as we study several texts: Christ in Culture, Richard Niebuhr, The Good Book, Peter Gomes and Have a Little Faith, Mitch Albom. These will help us understand the lenses through which we read scripture and encounter the world.
Wednesday Midweek Worship: At noon we’ll have worship with a brief sermon. Wednesday nights find us in the sanctuary, 6:30 – 7:15 pm, for Taize. This time will be reflective and quiet with songs to center our minds on Jesus, ‘the bread of life.’
Labyrinth: Wednesdays in Lent offers you a chance to walk a labyrinth. The Christian labyrinth became popular during the Middle Ages as a means to go on a ‘pilgrimage.’ Contemplative, intentional, steady steps take one to the center so to pause before the Lord. This is holy ground!
h2o Devos: Each day stop to reflect on Bread for the Journey with Pastor Ron’s daily devotionals. Check them out at www.h2odevos.blogspot.com . With the songs of Peter Mayer and creativity of Pr Ron, you won’t be disappointed.
What kind of bread are you? Father Dominic, in Bake and be Blessed, says that each one of us are a ‘bread type.’ Look for recipe cards and a devotional booklet to help you determine if you are rye or banana nut! Then go, and be bread for the world!
Confirmation students and mentors: will mutually benefit from conversations during the weeks of Lent. Thanks to AAA adults for walking the walk and talking the talk with our youth. If your conversation finishes early, head to the kitchen for some pretzel baking!
Stretch and Pray: Offered each Wednesday night after worship with Michelle Stone Kraus leading us in that vital connection of body and spirit! It’s easy and fun. Try it out!

The Family Challenge of Illness
Chronic/terminal illness is not an individual challenge. Rather, it is a challenge presented to a family wherein the concerns and emotions of each person within the context of the family must be considered if the family is to function effectively and meet the demands of the illness.
