LENTEN LUNCHEON SERIES:
AN UNLIKELY LENT
The story of Easter is rightfully centered on the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. But the Resurrection was not witnessed in isolation; it unfolded before a crowd. In that crowd were women and men who slipped through the margins of our Bibles, people who stood in the shadows but whose presence still shaped the moment. Might their stories have something to teach us today?
This Lent, we invite you on an unlikely journey with the often overlooked individuals who have something to teach us about freedom, courage, and connection.
Week 1 – Mary of Bethany (Unlikely Offering)
Week 2 – A servant girl who confronted Peter (Unlikely Opposition)
Week 3 – Barabbas (Unlikely Freedom)
Week 4 – Simon of Cyrene (Unlikely Companionship)
Week 5 – The Women at the cross (Unlikely Courage)
Week 6 – Joseph of Arimathea & Nicodemus (Unlikely Allies)
