Wednesday Evenings
During Lent
February 25, March 4, 11, 18, 25
6 p.m. – 8 p.m.
Community Presbyterian Church of Ben Avon
Come
and gather with our brothers and sisters at Community Presbyterian Church of
Ben Avon for an evening of dinner, worship and study. The topic of our study during Lent will be, “The Jesus
Creed,” based upon the book by Scot McKnight.
The Jesus Creed is based upon Jesus’ words in Mark
12:29 – 31. The words Jesus speaks
are taken from the Shema from Deuteronomy 6 –
“Hear O Israel, The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord you God with
all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.”
We will study what it means to
follow the Jesus Creed – in our writing, learning, praying and living.
Some
weeks, the program will be intergenerational, with everyone together. Other weeks, we will separate into
age-specific activities for children, youth and adults.
Brochures with more information
are available in the narthex, or talk with Pastor Susan.
