Description of Format from Rev. Diane:

Everybody reads in the comfort of their own home “A Season for the Spirit - Readings for the Days of Lent” by Martin L. Smith. He is the former Abbott of The Society of St. John of the Gospel in Boston, a Brit by birth and training, who left the monastery a number of years ago to move to D.C. and has become a well-known retreat leader and preacher. Books available on Amazon. How can we really have a discussion on Zoom – easy! We can break into groups of 3 or 4 depending on how many folks we have and talk among ourselves, with some guiding questions with which to start. Then we’ll gather all together in the large group for final sharing and close our time with some bits from Compline. I hope you can join in this exploration of growing our spirits during this year’s Lent. Remember that the sign of a healthy spiritual community is laughter! We aim to have fun!

Blessings to you all,
Diane
