40 Days Living the Jesus Creed

The Jesus Creed Lent Contemplation

Lent is a time to reflect on, pray about, and practice loving God and loving others — with a view to God’s love in the cross and resurrection. If Lent has its proper impact, it will form us spiritually — and to be formed spiritually is to grow in love of God and love of others.

Please consider joining this year’s Lenten reflection using 40 short daily studies from Scott McKnight’s book 40 Days Living the Jesus Creed. McKnight begins with Jesus and then develops how the rest of the New Testament took Jesus’ fundamental idea and reapplied it and reused it and saw it as the center of how a follower of Jesus is to live.

Several of the books are available in the church office for $10 a book. More can be ordered as needed. The first reading is for February 26^th (Ash Wednesday.)  Anyone who wishes to join a conversation on the daily reflections is invited to join the Adult Forum on the Sundays in Lent starting on March 1^st.
