THIRSTING: A Lenten Journey of Wisdom
and Water in the Wilderness
Lent, 2022
Imagine you are wandering in the desert: tired, parched, and longing for home.
What are the resources that help you make it through?
What is your body and spirit thirsting for?
Our journey this Lent is focused on water, particularly water when it is most needed. Inspired by imagery of a mirage of water in the desert - our deepest needs being manifested. And by Christ’s time in the wilderness that the Lenten season is modeled after, our theme is THIRSTING: A Lenten Journey of Water and Wisdom in the Wilderness.
Haslett Community Church is partnering with our sister congregation, Edgewood United Church, to share common prayers, scripture passages and themes for worship. Pastor Liz Miller of Edgewood and Pastor Betsy will even do a pulpit swap in March. We are also partnering for our weekly Wednesday evening program!
In worship each Sunday we dig into Biblical stories of water as the sacred source of life and explore what we are thirsting for today.
For our weekly Wednesday program (final one is April 6 at 6:00 p.m. via Zoom for accessibility to both congregations) we focus on water justice and water issues globally and locally.
This resource packet has details for worship on the remaining Lenten Sundays and our remaining Lenten Wednesday program zoom info (along with links to short films to watch and resources to read if you would like to dive deeper into the Wednesday evening conversations). You are also welcome to just arrive for worship and attend Wednesday without preparation. However you choose to participate, we welcome this journey together.
