SPECIAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES IN LENT 

​​A BUS RIDE TO HEAVEN: Reading C.S. Lewis’ “The Great Divorce”
Thursdays in Lent, 10:30 a.m., Fairchild Room at Zabriskie Chapel

​Join the Immanuel clergy in the Fairchild Room at 10:30 a.m. on Thursdays in Lent, beginning March 14, for discussions on "The Great Divorce," a short novel by C.S. Lewis in which ghosts in hell climb aboard a bus that carries them to the outskirts of heaven. We will watch as each person is invited to stay, and to travel further into God’s presence … but the catch is, they have to let go of something that separates them from God. An artist has to let go of the love of fame; a husband has to let go of his resentment of his wife; and more.  Lent itself is a journey in faith, and C.S. Lewis gives us much to ponder as we draw ever closer to the light of Resurrection. Join us!

LETTERS OF FAITH FROM PRISON
Sunday morning Lenten series, 10:15 a.m., Zabriskie Parish Hall

​Our Sunday morning Lenten series focuses on several pivotal letters written by Christians who faced imprisonment during their ministries. We will read passages from their letters and additional reading suggestions will be offered. There will also be time for questions and small-group discussion. We will be asking how the witness of these courageous forebears who suffered for the faith can help us on our journey now.
Sunday, March 10: St. Paul: His witness from prison 
Suggested reading:  Paul's Letter to the Philippians
​Led by the Rev. Deacon Stephen Crippen, the Rev. Rachel Rickenbaker, and the Rev. Randy Alexander

Sunday, March 17: Perpetua: The witness of a little-known martyr from the early Church
Suggested reading:  Perpetua's Prison Diary
Led by the Rev. Rachel Rickenbaker

​Sunday, March 24: Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Christian martyr in a time of hate and terror 
Led by the Rev. Deacon Stephen Crippen

Sunday, March 31: Corrie Ten-Boom: Imprisoned for saving others
Led by the Rev. Rachel Rickenbaker

Sunday, April 7: The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr: Letter from a Birmingham Jail
​
Led by the Rev. Randy Alexander
