This year our special offering in Lent goes to support Edward
Makara, a theology student from Rwanda. Edward grew up in
Rukira, Rwanda, attending our sister parish there where Pastor
Martin is currently the pastor. A few years ago he was part
of a delegation of young people who visited Northern California
as guests of our Synod.
Lectio Divina (‘holy reading/listening’)
is the ancient method of prayerfully reading the Bible, the Word
of God. Originally cultivated by monastic orders – but now an
important part of the lives of many Christians from different
traditions.
Gathering together to read the word of God, to talk and pray
about it, and to enjoy the company of others is vital to our
growth as Christians. But it can also be really fun, too!
