Lenten Journaling
Bible Study for All | A Journey Into, Through, and Out of the Wilderness
“The love of our neighbor in all its fullness simply means being able to say, “What are you going through?” - Simone Weil, French Philosopher/Theologian and author of “Gravity and Grace”
Across the past 10 months, and in the months to come, we will have gone through both collective and individual wilderness. We have traversed the desert of social distancing, fear, uncertainty, and grief. We have lost loved ones. We have lost familiar ways of life. We have lost rituals of family, community, and culture. We have experienced layers of grief, tinged with our inability to share it together.
And so, this study will seek to bring us backward, in order that we might remember what we have gone through, so that we will understand the journey, see the present, and look forward faithfully into the unknown land ahead.
Meals & Mental Health Drive | Normandale Housing (NHM)
February 22 – March 28
He will bring justice to the poor and food to the hungry. -Psalms 146:7
As we explore What are You Going Through this Lent, let us also remember our NHM neighbors by offering gifts to help empower & nourish them in body, mind, and spirit. The past year has been tough: housing insecurity, racial tensions, living in a food desert, all while navigating a global pandemic. We can realize God's justice. Help provide meals and mental healthcare with your financial donation this month! Give online by clicking the link below and selecting the "Normandale Housing" fund or mail a check to NLC at 6100 Normandale Rd, Edina, MN 55436 with "Housing/Mental Health" in the memo line. Questions? Contact Kati Salmon at ksalmon@normluth.org.
