The LunchBunch Book group will be starting a new book for Lent.  Rise, an Authentic Lenten Devotional by John Pavlovitz.  This is a book of forty daily readings, which acknowledge the dark times we pass through personally, and perhaps as a community or a nation.  “This is a season ultimately made of elevated hopes, raised expectations, ascending spirits, and radiant mornings, and we should never forget that.  It is love helping us get back up.  But before all of that, it is a road that travels thorough darkness, through the waiting, through grief, and through the nights where hope feels beyond reach.  Those ae sacred spaces too . . .Consider these pages a journey to something and a journey through something.”  Rising to Hope. 

 

Currently, we are a small, informal group that meets weekly via zoom.  We spend as much time sharing and listening as we do in discussing our reading.  Our plan for this book is to read the daily readings during the week, then share the ones that were meaningful to us.  If you would like to join us, please contact Belinda at belinda.ww@gmail.com.
