Lent at Advent

Schedule

Lent Offerings

Sunday Adult Forum During Lent - 10:45 am

Dwelling In Christ, Led by Carla Waterman

Imagine you are the Apostle Paul. You are trying to find language to speak of the risen Christ now dwelling with, in and through God’s people. What images do you choose? What pictures do you paint to help first century people grasp this new, startling reality? And how do Paul’s images in the first century help us understand our own life in Christ?

This Lenten Adult Forum will explore Paul’s imagery of “indwelling” coupled with relevant prayer practices that will help us center our minds and hearts on this reality of
Christ’s indwelling presence in our lives.
This class will invite participants to explore new ways to practice Christ’s presence in everyday life.

In addition to playing the piano, Carla Waterman spent twenty years teaching Christian spirituality to seminarians and worship pastors. She is delighted to offer this course here at Advent.
