Smelling the Roses - Lent: Sensing the Good News

We encounter God and God’s salvation in embodied ways — in our bodies’ abilities to perceive familiar realities, and to interpret new ones. Lent provides opportunities to acknowledge this. The season begins with smelly and greasy ash, as a stark reminder that life is short and we must live it to the fullest. It will end with our feet washed in cool water or a bittersweet taste of wine in our mouths, as we imagine the horrible death of Jesus our brother. In between, Lent allows us to consider together who we are and how we encounter the divine in each other. Join us for our Lenten Series!
