Lives of Courage & Faith Lenten Series
March 8, 2016 @ 6:00 pm - 7:15 pm
- Lives of Faith and Courage is a series where we will learn about five very different, inspiring and faithful individuals and learn how they respond (or have responded) to various world challenges with amazing vision, imagination and action. Some of these individuals are still alive, others have died. Some of these individuals are well-known, others are not.
The format of each session will involve a presentation and a discussion. We will end with a brief time of worship and prayer in the form of Compline. All are welcome – please invite friends and neighbors who might be interested!
The schedule for our Lenten evenings will be:
- Simple dinner in the Undercroft, 5:15 – 6 pm
- Program in the Meeting Room, 6-7pm
- Compline, 7-7:15pm
Please come for any or all parts of the evening.
Tuesday, March 8, Greg Boyle, presented by Mary Lindquist. A Jesuit priest famous for his gang intervention programs in Los Angeles, Fr. Greg Boyle makes winsome connections between service and delight, and compassion and awe. He heads Homeboy Industries, which employs former gang members in a constellation of businesses. This is not work of helping, he says, but of finding kinship. The point of Christian service, as he lives it, is about “our common calling to delight in one another.”
