Lenten Study Fast Approaching
Yes, even though it’s only January we are already planning for Lent! Ash Wednesday is Wednesday, February 14 this year. There will be a service that day at 7PM. There will be more on that in the February edition of “The Spire.”
Our Lenten Study this year is a book entitled “Three Simple Rules” by Ruben Job.
Ruben Job was elected Bishop of The United Methodist Church in 1984. In this small book, Bishop Job explores the three general rules of the Methodist societies which John Wesley gave to them. We continue to have them as part of our Book of Discipline to this day. In fact, you’ll have heard them in one form during the Wesley Covenant Service Pastor Daniel led on Dec 31, 2023. They are a key part of what it means to be a Methodist.
This year during Lent, we’ll gather on Tuesday evenings at 7PM in the Fireside Room to explore these three simple rules ourselves: Do no harm. Do good. Stay in love with God. You’ve heard them since Pastor Daniel arrived, now come join him in exploring and understanding them at a deeper level.
The church is ordering 30 copies of the book in regular print. It will be available in the Church Office for $5.50 (our cost). We are ordering five large print copies. They will be available in the Church Office for $6.50, again at our cost. This class will begin on Tuesday, February 20.
