This year for Lent – Give Up an Hour
Plan to stay for the hour following worship each week to stay and consider what
you’ve heard and felt together with the Garden Street Community. Mark your
calendars NOW for Sundays February 22- March 29 to stay until 4:45.
Here are the details:
Pastor Justin’s theme for Lenten sermons will be “Roll Down Justice” focusing on
our call to “do justice” in scripture and our commitment to act on that call made
at our baptism. He will challenge us with a question to consider at the close of
each sermon.
We see so much injustice these days – in the world, in our nation and here in
Bellingham. We can’t help but notice. We wonder, “How can I make a difference
in situations that are intrenched in our culture or seem too big for me to engage?”
We can’t do it alone! We need each other in this undertaking.
This year, let’s engage our challenges and reflect on the week’s scripture together following worship. We’ll meet around the tables in the social hall during the fellowship time and respond to the question Pastor Justin has given us. (Grab a cup of coffee and a cookie on your way to a table!) As we discuss, listen and pray together, who knows where the Holy spirit might lead us?
