15-30 participants: JustFaith Ministries Lent Series Pre-Order

You may be entering this season of Lent feeling the upheaval of the world. Both nationally and globally, we have been experiencing what feel like unprecedented times. There is so much uncertainty. There are so many people suffering. How can we respond to such daunting challenges?

It may be both obvious and hopeful to remember that we are here now because our ancestors survived. They may have survived famine, genocide, natural disasters, wars, poverty, displacement, and other, often human-created, calamities.

The lineage of our faith tradition offers the fertile soil of lessons and learnings to show us the way. Within and beyond our traditions, we find resurrection-keepers: past and present wisdom-holders, storytellers, and our common home of Earth, who guide us to discern a sustainable path through what seems impossible and impassable.

Remembering that you, beloved, are made from dust, you are invited to play in the soul-soil of the world — to delve into the messy dirt of humanity, to help what is rotten to generate fertile soil, and to sow and nurture perennial seeds of love, hope, and mercy, so we may grow ourselves into a garden of beloved community.

The JustFaith Lenten series consists of six 1-hour sessions, an optional mini-retreat, and discussion questions for an optional post-Easter gathering. JustFaith Ministries provides all the resources and support you need to facilitate this program in your own church or community — you don’t need to be a biblical scholar or have experience leading groups.
