Members of Community of the Savior who live on the west side of Rochester are meeting for the next few Friday nights, gathering together in one family's home to ponder Lent, to scour Scriptures together, to share our insights and experiences of the season. It is a wonderful time of fellowship and conversation uncomplicated by the usual constraints of meeting times. We just come, pray, read, talk, then go.
I find it interesting that we can be reading the same text, but bring such a diversity of understandings and insights. We have all experienced many events that lend themselves to the subject at hand, no two alike. This is even better than a book discussion group. And it is only for a limited time. Sort of like indulging in a rich, decadent dessert for a special occasion. I do feel like I go away licking my mental and spiritual chops. Kind of a far cry from giving up something for Lent. I am getting a bonus for Lent!
