Great Wednesdays

–– March 16-April 16, 6 to 8 PM

From the wilderness to the cross

Lent begins with Jesus tempted in the wilderness and draws us all the way to the crowded Jerusalem streets where people shout both “Hosana!” and “Crucify him!”  These Lenten stories are full of human embodied experiences to help us draw closer to the humanity of Jesus. 

We will engage the Sunday gospel passages of Lent with our whole selves: body, mind, and spirit, to discover how these passages resonate with our own journey through life.

  • 6 PM Evening Prayer

  • 6:30 PM Dinner

  • 7-8 PM Program

More about the series…

Adrien Dawson will use art and mindfulness to help us begin with the wisdom of our bodies and then move towards the analytical work of our mind, and finally the synthesis of our spirit with God’s Spirit to explore these questions:

  • How is Jesus’ experience similar to your own life?

  • Where do you feel resonance with Jesus in your body?  

  • How might the difficult journeys of your life be transformed if you felt in your bones that Jesus had traveled the same path?
