Post Worship Potluck – Lutheran Rosary
As we prepare to enter the Lenten season and try to come closer to God in the mystery of the 40 days, I would like to introduce the discipline of praying the Lutheran Rosary. As mentioned in last week’s sermon, prayer is not something that comes naturally to me but I want to practice. Doing so with an object is one way that I imagine helping. The Lutheran Rosary, or the Wreath of Christ, was developed by a Swedish bishop emeritus in the 90s and is a now beloved practice for many christians of any number of denominations. We will spend our potluck time making our own Wreaths, learning the prayers, and discussing other Lenten practices that help us to get close to God. The material will be provided for you. Please bring yourself and a dish to share or just bring yourself!

Sermon Stammtisch with Vicar Brady
This week in the gospel, we encounter Luke’s unique telling of the Beatitudes, with both “blessings” and “woes.” Come reflect on the sermon and what Luke’s telling of the gospel means for our lives today.

Bible Study – Overview of Luke
We are in Year C of our three year lectionary cycle for worship (where we read primarily from Matthew, Mark, and Luke in different years…with a bit of John sprinkled throughout). This is the year of Luke. At potluck this week, we will do an overview of how the different gospels fit together, and we will discuss what makes Luke unique among them. Bring a dish to share if you can, and plan to join in!

Epiphany Traditions & New Year’s Intentions
At potluck, we will discuss further the global tradition of blessing homes at Epiphany, as well as more recent Epiphany traditions, like star words. We will also spend some time discussing how to create life-giving intentions for the new year…perhaps expanding the practice of “resolutions” to encompass new things we haven’t thought about before.
