Join our Clergy in the Philbrick Room on Sundays at 11:30a and in Thaxter Hall at 5pm for our Lenten Series Vocabulary of our Faith. Using the book 'Wishful Thinking - A Seeker's ABC's' by Frederick Buechner as a guide, we will explore our faith in conversation as we reflect on a different word each week. The conversations will last about an hour. The evening conversation will conclude with a soup and bread dinner and Compline at 7p.

RESURRECTION

the word of the week

"Resurrection is what happens after we think that we cannot go on…and we do anyway." What if we gave up the illusion that if we did all the right things at all the right times, we could somehow avoid suffering? Suffering just is. Our life is about how we respond. We are given an invitation to respond with resurrection. Jesus invites us to practice the presence of God, to practice resurrection…no matter what the situation. This world needs people and communities that reflect hope in the face of suffering. Our call as God’s children is not to pretend that darkness does not exist, but rather to shine God’s Light brightly to overcome it.
