lenten series small groups
Join us this Lenten season as we dive deeply into one of Jesus’ most powerful teachings: the Beatitudes.
These counterintuitive, countercultural teachings are timeless for all people in every time and place. But they also feel timely as we grapple with what it means to follow Jesus in our current context.
Over the course of six weeks, with the help of Rev. James C. Howell’s book The Beatitudes for Today, we will explore who Christ is calling us to be, where Christ is calling us to go, and to whom Christ is calling us to get close.
In this season of Lent, as we journey with Christ to the cross, are we open to being shaped and molded? Are we open to Jesus the Teacher? Will we allow Jesus’ teachings in the Beatitudes to change us?
