FROM STONES TO BREAD: Encountering Christ in Arid Places
with Kathy Hendricks - Wed., Feb. 24, 5:30 (Eucharist), 6:00 (dinner),
6:45 - 8:00 (program) Audio

Lent begins with the story of Jesus’ experience in the desert. After forty days and nights of fasting, he is famished, and is enticed by the devil to use his power to turn stones into bread. Jesus resists, noting that true sustenance comes, not from the bread that feeds the body, but by the Word of God that feeds the soul. In times of busyness, our souls can suffer from chronic spiritual starvation and a thirst that only God can quench. The Lenten experience invites us to enter a spiritual desert that opens us to an encounter with Christ rather succumbing to the temptations towards busyness.

PRE-SESSION REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
What kind of busyness of mind, body, and spirit am I living with?
What arid spaces are taking hold of my heart and soul?
