Lenten Discussion Series at St. Mark's Church

For five Sundays leading up to Easter, St. Mark’s Episcopal Church is offering a Lenten Discussion Series entitled “Ears to Hear: Learning to Listen in a Divided World.” Listening makes us into disciples and also makes us into servants. Yet, it can be difficult to be a good listener. This series will explore the ways we are called to listen and will offer opportunities to practice being good listeners.

Each week, participants are invited to come to the church, located at 75 Cold Spring Road, Westford, MA, for a contemplative service of Compline at 5:00 p.m. Following this short prayer service, the group will gather at 5:30 for a simple supper of soup and bread while discussing the topic of the week.

March 5: Called to Listen

March 12: Listening Like Jesus: Developing our Listening Skills

March 19: Listening to “Other” Voices

March 25: Stopped Ears and Hardened Hearts: Stumbling Blocks to Listening

April 2: Listening in Love: What Have we Heard?

Each week will include reflection on a Bible passage and a reading, video, or other resource. These resources will be posted each week on St. Mark’s blog at stmarkwestford.blogspot.com for reflection before each week’s discussion.

All are welcome to attend, regardless of parish affiliation or faith background. For more information, contact the Reverend Suzanne Wade at RevSuzanneWade@gmail.com or visit the St. Mark’s website http://www.st-mark.org/home.
