Lenten Book Study with the Rev. Dr. Maggi Dawn
Wednesday, March 4
12.00 p.m.
St. John's Cathedral invites all to share in a weekly online noontime Lenten series with the Rev. Dr. Maggi Dawn offering reflections on her book, “Giving It Up,” which offers daily Bible readings from Ash Wednesday to Easter Day.
Dawn is canon theologian for the Diocese of Rhode Island, a former assistant dean at Yale Divinity School, and wife of the Very Rev. Andrew Tremlett, dean of St. Paul's Cathedral in London. She is also an indie rock musician and songwriter.
Each week Dawn will read a story, and participants will share thoughts and learnings, ponder a related question, and close in guided prayer or song. The biblical stories will be familiar, but how they relate to our lives will be fresh.
Dawn writes: "One of my favorite ways of going deeper in faith is to re-read the stories of scripture, imagining myself right inside the story. I want to get beyond the dry theory to something that connects to real life; and I believe that before we ever get to principles and lessons and calls to action, we need a deep and personal connection to God. It is my pleasure to join you this Lent for a weekly online meeting, looking further into how to deepen that connection with God. Lent is always associated with “wilderness” — but this is an invitation to a journey through Lent that does not feel like a dry, dusty punishment, but instead like a deep dive into a God who longs to feed our souls. I hope you will join me as we pray, read, and talk together."
Dawn’s book is available on Amazon electronically via Kindle or in print, though shipping may take 7-10 days. The zoom link will be available on the St. John’s website at: www.stjohnsla.org. The group will meet on Wednesdays, beginning on Feb. 25 at noon for one hour.
