Our Lenten journey will begin on Wednesday February 17 and end with Easter celebrations on April 5, 2015.
This year UCoL’s Small Groups will walk the 40 day Lenten Journey accompanied by the book, “40-Day Journey with Parker Palmer”. This is a beautiful book you could use on your own, work through with a buddy, or with your small group.
Here's one review:
This book is truly phenomenal. Each day's reading is "short", so you could spend as little time as 5 or 6 minutes reading it. But the readings are so profound that you could spend an hour thinking, praying and journaling with it. Most of the Palmer readings focus on paradoxes. Things like the concepts of "abundance" and "scarcity". They are simple yet powerful concepts, that cause me to think of them for days after I've read them. But the accompanying scripture passages and prayer suggestions are also very powerful. There have been passages used here that are so appropriate to Palmer's writings; and they have given me new inspiration, insight and perspective on the scripture itself. I can't recommend this book highly enough. It will be a devotional that I will read, and re-read.
Karen will be placing a book order on Wednesday January 28, 2014. The book costs about $20 a copy ... or if you prefer, you can download it to your Kindle from Amazon for about ½ that price.
If you are interested in placing a book order or signing up for this year’s Lenten Small Groups please email Rev. Karen asap, karen@ucol.ca
