About the Event
"Those Who Said 'Yes' to Christ's Call:
The Saints and Sinners in our Spiritual Ancestry and in Us"
Sometimes modern Christians think that those who followed Jesus were chosen because they were exceptionally faithful or special. But they were just like us! They had great spiritual gifts and just as many growing edges. In this Lenten series, we will be learning more about what the New Testament and early tradition record about some of Jesus' first disciples and followers, and in the process, exploring the ways in which we behave like them today. Which of these spiritual ancestors do you take after the most: Peter, Nathaniel, Thomas, Mary Magdalene, Prisca, Lydia, or others? Come to feast, learn, and be strengthened in your discipleship.
