When Ash Wednesday falls on Valentine’s Day and Easter is April Fools’ Day, as happened in 2018, you might start to wonder about God’s sense of humor. Join us for a Lenten retreat with weekly reflections on scripture, discussion with other participants, and a different spiritual practice or action to take each week. We will explore the apparent foolishness of a faith based on love, grace, vulnerability, and justice, as we walk with Jesus and the disciples toward Jerusalem and the cross. There are no required materials for this course.

Past Students Said…
“I loved the idea of tying Lent together with Valentine’s Day and April Fool’s Day – both secular, but we are part of this secular world. The lessons were very well thought out and the lessons thought provoking and meaningful.”
