SUMMARY:Lenten Faith Formation - Weekly on Tuesdays
DESCRIPTION:Please consider joining us as we walk through Lent using the SALT Lenten Study – Lift Up Your Voice: Singing through Lent and Easter.  A description follows:\n\nAll of creation\,” wrote St. Hildegard of Bingen\, “is a song of praise to God” – a swirling symphony all around us.\nSo for this year’s 40-day Lenten journey\, why not take the Christian musical treasury as your guide\, classic hymns and sacred songs bringing together big ideas and beautiful melodies?\nIn this devotional\, each week\, reflections on biblical texts and beloved music inspire practices you can try yourself\, with your family or friends\, or with your congregation. As the days lengthen\, the birds will sing – and so will we\, joining in with creation’s symphony of sorrow and joy\, death and new life. Lift up your voice!\n \nThis study will start on March 4th (the day before Ash Wednesday). We meet every Tuesday at noon as a hybrid class (both in-person and on zoom).  We will use the time to discuss the readings for that week\, along with listening (and perhaps even singing!) some of the songs that are presented in this study.\n\nOur class will run for an hour (or so) and will be followed by a sharing of thoughts on the Stillspeaking Lenten Devotional – Into the Deep. \n\n\nAs Mary Luti writes in the introduction\, “God inhabits the depths of life\, love\, loss\, ecstasy\, and pain\, God dwells in the profundities of prayer\, in sighs too deep for words. God loves the deep.”\nWhat courage\, what faith\, what reckoning\, what wonder might find us as we go deep into God’s depths this Lent?\n\n\nIf you’re interested in joining us on this Lenten path\, please reach out to Julie Kessler (julielouisekessler@gmail.com or 603-871-8066)

SUMMARY:Adult Faith Formation - Weekly on Tuesdays
DESCRIPTION:Beginning Tuesday\, June 3rd\, we will start a new class based on the poetry of Mary Oliver using the SALT devotional entitled: Summer Days.  This class will consist of four sessions taking us through June.  Description follows:\n\n … summertime taps into the deep\, ancient practice of rest and restoration\, echoing the joyful\, sacred rhythms of sabbath.\nMary Oliver’s poetry can help us connect with this dimension of the season\, savoring its delights\, valuing its treasures\, and reveling in what she calls summer’s “luminous sprawl of gifts.” Think of that sprawl as a sabbath for the year as a whole: not the resurrections of spring or the harvests of autumn\, but the joyful\, restful moments in between. Moments we all are made for.\n\nAt each of the four steps\, you’ll find a gentle rhythm to guide you: the lighting of a candle\, a passage from Scripture to pair with poems in Oliver’s Devotions\, a short prayer\, and a song or two. Each step also includes a bouquet of “daily practices” to try\, activities to help deepen your experience of the poems\, the biblical passages\, and the wider world they call us to love. \n \nYou will be supplied with a Summer Days booklet and copies of the poems being used.  Just let Julie Kessler know if  you’re interested in participating – or if you want copies even if you can’t join us. (603-871-8066 or julielouisekessler@gmail.com)\n\nClass meets every Tuesday at 12:00 in the Parish Helper room.  We also have a Zoom option if you’d prefer to participate remotely.
