Join Us for a Transformative Lenten Journey: Witness at the Cross

As we enter the sacred season of Lent, we invite you to embark on a profound journey of reflection and discovery with us. Join our Lenten Study series on Amy-Jill Levine’s enlightening book, Witness at the Cross. This is a unique opportunity to deepen our understanding of the Passion narrative and explore the diverse perspectives of those who witnessed the crucifixion.

Event Details:

– Stations of the Cross: 5:45 pm

– Simple Supper: 6:00 pm

– Study Session: 7:00 – 8:00 pm

When: Every Wednesday during Lent, starting the second week (March 12) and concluding the week before Palm Sunday (April 9). The program will take place in the Parish House, but Zoom will also be available.

Each evening will begin with the solemn Stations of the Cross, setting the tone for a reflective and meaningful experience. Following this, we will share a simple supper, offering a time for fellowship and community. Our study session will then delve into Levine’s compelling insights, encouraging thoughtful discussion and personal growth.

This series offers a great opportunity for us to enrich your Lenten journey. Don’t miss this chance to engage with the powerful narratives that continue to inspire and challenge us.

We look forward to sharing this sacred time with you. Please feel free to invite friends and family to join us in this enriching experience.

Bring your copy of Witness at the Cross, or let us know if you need assistance obtaining one. We will endeavor to get a few copies, but you also do not need a copy to partake in the program. We’re excited to explore this journey together!

P.S. We are looking for 2-3 volunteers from each committee to help set up and clean up during for the Lenten suppers, starting on Wednesday, March 12 at 5:00 pm. Please contact Sharon Selleck to let her know you can help or with questions. Thank you!

Testimonials

Christine, Brent, and I joined St Bartholomew’s Church in the winter of 2018 after a long search.  Our daughter Althea was baptized here the following September.  St. B’s stood out for it’s welcoming parishoners, charismatic clergy, and beautiful church service.  It is a church that lives the words of Christ.  When you join the community, you feel loved in an unconditional way that makes you feel like you are in the presence of God.  – Jason

St. B’s is a special place. When we visited, we were warmly welcomed, but what brought us back was how the church is committed to their vision: through worship, preaching and service.  There are so many ways the people of St. B’s demonstrate a desire to serve others and to build authentic community, and it’s reflected in the acceptance, openness and diversity of the congregation. The hallmark of St. B’s is the call to receive and depend on God’s grace and share God’s love. – Mary Ann & Earl

(O for a heart to praise my God) sung at Choral Evensong

We are a church committed to worship, inclusvity and openness, pastoral care, learning and teaching, and outreach and service. And we are committed to our place in our community and city. We know that we occupy a place of transition, drawing members from the city and the counties, a variety of races and cultural backgrounds, and representing a wide range of educational and financial resources. Our awareness of the space we occupy fuels and informs our mission and goals.

We are excited and energized to continue in this church’s tradition of struggling for justice and equality for all.

MICAH 6:8B

What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
