The book of Exodus tells the rich story of God hearing the cry of the Israelites oppressed by the Egyptians, and leading them to freedom by crossing through the Red Sea and journeying to Mount Sinai. God called Moses to be his prophet and lead his people in this exodus. Each Lent, we are called to embark on a journey to renewed life so that we can emerge with a deeper faith grounded in our relationship with God and manifested through our caring for all his people. Like Moses, we may hesitate to answer God’s call, even though burning bushes catch our attention! But if we remain open, God gives us the courage that will sustain us.
Praying and reflecting on the Exodus account of God calling Moses, we will use as our guide the three-part Alive in the Word resource, Moses: Called And Equipped. The Alive in the Word reflection series has become popular among parishioners in the past several years. It offers participants a bible reflection group study that is not too long and not too short! The sessions shaped by prayer, reading, faith-sharing, and community building, serve as a sort of mini retreat! Bob Valle will serve as the facilitator for this Lenten series.
Respecting that many people may still feel uncomfortable meeting in person during this pandemic yet still desire to embrace deeper prayer and reflection during Lent, the series will be offered via Zoom. The link will be sent to all registered participants.
Wednesdays, March 3, 10, 17 7:00p.m. - 8:15p.m., via Zoom
