March 5 @ 6:00 pm
Mid-Week Lenten Program “Full to the Brim: Envisioning, Creating, and Sustaining Community–Living with Abundance in a World of Scarcity”
Full to the Brim will use beautiful liturgies, art and poetry from Sanctified Art following the Sunday morning’s lectionary readings. This year’s Lenten Scripture are filled
with parables and promises of God’s abundant and expansive grace; Jesus as a mother hen, a prodigal son welcomed home, a fig tree nurtured with care and hope, precious oil poured out
lovingly and freely, stones shouting out with praise. Sanctified Art writes about this series, “We’ve done nothing to deserve or earn this grace, and yet, like water, it spills over.
Full to the Brim is an invitation — into a radically different Lent, into a full life. It’s an invitation to be authentically who you are, to counter scarcity and injustice at every
turn, to pour out even more grace wherever it is needed. It disrupts the scarcity mentality that capitalism, oppression, or hierarchy can plant inside of us. When we allow ourselves to
be filled to the brim with God’s lavish love, that love spills over into everything we touch. . . .This Lent, let us trust — fully — that we belong to God. Let us increase our capacity to receive and give grace. Let us discover the expansive life God dreams for us”
