Adult Lenten Bible Study

This Lenten season, gather at the table with Jesus and his disciples to experience the journey from Palm Sunday to the cross through the stories that prepared the way. Experience Lent through the lens of Jesus’ most powerful mealtime parables. We will travel with Jesus on the road to Jerusalem in this profound Lenten study that explores the parables and stories Jesus told at tables along the way to his final meal. We will be invited to experience how these table stories – about searching shepherds, welcoming hosts, prodigal sons and rejected invitations – illuminate the deeper meaning of the Last Supper and Christ’s sacrifice. Together we hope to: Discover how Jesus used meals to reveal the surprising nature of God’s kingdom – Explore how stories of mercy, invitation and radical hospitality prepare us for Holy Week – Understand why sharing bread and wine became the central ritual of the Christian faith – Experience Maundy Thursday’s profound significance in fresh, meaningful ways. We will try to connect ancient stories to our contemporary Christian life. Rev. Judy will lead our discussions each week.
