Wednesday Evening Lenten Series

“For Such a Time as This”

For this year’s Lenten series we will study Christian leaders and churches from the past that have taken a stand against injustice and reflect on what we can learn from them for our current times. We’ll look at Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the Barmen Declaration and the Confessing Church in the 1930s and 40s in Germany; The Belhar Confession and the witness of the Reformed Church in South Africa under Apartheid; and the Confession of 1967 and Christian involvement in the Civil Rights Movement.  Barmen, Belhar and the Confession of 1967 are all in the PC(USA) Book of Confessions. The dates are Wednesdays March 12, 19, 26, April 2, and 9th.  A light dinner will be available at 6:30 pm and the program will start at 7.
