Lenten Challenge: Digital Minimalism
Begins Sun Feb 15 after worship
Join Rev. Dale after 10:30 worship on Sun Feb 15 to hear about the Lenten "Digital Minimalism" challenge. Participants are invited to read the book Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport, and to (try to) give up something that's electronic and time-consuming in their lives in a Lenten effort to become more focused... and maybe even more prayerful.

Adult Program
Becoming Light and Salt: Wrestling with The Sermon on the Mount
Celebrate when you're persecuted -- Love your enemies -- Be the light of the world and salt of the earth, but don't draw attention to yourself! -- Don't worry about anything, because what did worrying ever solve? -- Oh, and by the way: Be perfect, like God is perfect.
These are just a few of Jesus' teachings in Matthew 5 - 7, also known as the Sermon on the Mount. In this Lenten supper program, adults will wrestle with some of the sermon's more evocative sayings through facilitator presentations and small group discussions. Our goal will be to develop a greater understanding of Jesus's ideas and how to live these ideas in our current moment. Together, we'll discuss what it means to be light & salt for the world! Team-led by Nan Carmack, Rev. Dale, and Rev. Herbert
Youth Program
The Sermon by the Bonfire!
Each week after supper, youth in grades 6 - 12 will gather outside by a bonfire for guided group discussion about some of the ideas in the Sermon on the Mount. Rev. Herbert will join the youth on the first night.
