Lenten Soup & Study Series 2026

Wednesday evening worship with our soup & study series begins February 25th. A simple service of Holy Eucharist will be held at 5:30 followed by a meal of soup and bread, and concludes with our study of women leaders in the Bible.

The study, titled “Miriam’s Sisters, Deborah’s Daughters: When Women Lead the Way” is made up of five short videos with questions for reflection or discussion. We will consider how different times demand a different kinds of leadership, involving imagination and creativity, and reflect on the experiences of women leaders including Miriam, Deborah, Esther, Ruth, Mary the mother of Jesus, Mary of Bethany and the woman at the well, and finds inspiration and guidance for today in their practices of accompaniment, accountability, spirituality, communal discernment, provision and creativity.

Copies of a companion book, Women of the Bible, and supplemental materials are available at the church. A donation of $12 for the book will be appreciated.
