Lenten Study – Nurturing One Another

As a baby, Mary wrapped him. When thirsty, the Samaritan woman gave him water. After being crucified, Joseph laid him in the tomb.
During Lent, as we walk with Christ toward the cross, this seven-week study will examine the ways people nurtured Christ on his journey. We will discuss how we can emulate these caregivers, and the role of our community in birth, sickness, death and resurrection.
Class will ask for 1 hour of individual study during the week in preparation for Sunday School.
