Monday Musers Lent Study: “Witness at the Cross”
March 7 – April 11
Mondays | 11:30 am – 1:00 pm
Room 340 & 341 | Book available for $15
Registration required
For Lent in 2022, the Monday Musers invite you to join us for the study of Professor Amy-Jill Levine’s book Witness at the Cross (A Beginner’s Guide to Holy Friday). We will experience Holy Friday from the perspective of those who watched Jesus die: Mary, his mother; the Beloved Disciple from the Gospel of John; Mary Magdalene and the other women from Galilee; the two men crucified with Jesus; the centurion and the soldiers; Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus. Each Gospel has it’s own story to tell, all the witnesses have their own memories, and every reader will come away with new transformational insights about the Crucifixion of Jesus and what the Cross of Christ means for us today. Books are available in the Main Office.

This Lent we are taking a rare chance to get to know Jesus as his first disciples knew him.
What would it be like to journey back to the first century and sit at the feet of Rabbi Jesus as one of his Jewish disciples? How would your understanding of the gospel have been shaped by the customs, beliefs, and traditions of the Jewish culture in which you lived?
Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus takes you on a fascinating tour of the Jewish world of Jesus, offering inspirational insights that can transform your faith. We will explore the powerful scenes from Jesus’ ministry, immersing you in the prayers, feasts, history, culture, and customs that shaped Jesus and those who followed him.
If you wish, you could read along with us you can purchase the book on amazon.
