      •   The Gospel by Ear - A Lenten Listening Practice at the Parish Hall

    This Lent, join us on Tuesday evenings for a communal practice of reading and listening to the Gospels together. Over the course of Lent, we will read all four Gospels aloud, letting the Gospels wash over us in their entirety, received through one another’s voices. Reading aloud is always optional; you are warmly invited to come and simply listen. Feel free to bring a small, quiet craft — knitting or handiwork is welcome.

    Each reading is offered as a gift; the heart of the gathering is not study or discussion, but shared attention — hearing the living Word as it is received in community.

    •   Tuesdays 7:30 - 9:30pm | Each week to March 31

    All are welcome. Come to read. Come to listen. Come as you are. Hear the Gospels!  POSTER
