Begins Wed., February 29th at 7pm for 6 weeks. LENTEN SERIES: THE CUP OF OUR LIVES. LENT interrupts. We pause and enter a more reflective season. Join us for our Lenten series “The Cup of Our Lives.” based on the book by Joyce Rupp. With our own favourite mug as a focus, we will explore together, through conversation and quiet reflection, how cups can be a rich symbol of our lives and our relationship with God– lives that are ordinary and spiritually thirsty at times, lives both empty and full, sometimes wounded or “chipped”, lives we share with others. Bring yourselves, your mug, a notebook and a pen. Come for one session or them all! Facilitators: Judy Ries and Anne Selby.
