Lenten Book Conversation "Freeing Jesus"
2022-03-03 19:00 - 20:30
“How can you still be a Christian? This is the most common question Diana Butler Bass is asked today. It is a question that many believers ponder as they wrestle with disappointment and disillusionment in their church and its leadership. But while many Christians have left their churches, they cannot leave their faith behind.

In Freeing Jesus, Bass challenges the idea that Jesus can only be understood in static, one-dimensional ways and asks us to instead consider a life where Jesus grows with us and helps us through life’s challenges in several capacities: as Friend, Teacher, Savior, Lord, Way, and Presence.” The book is available at major outlets, including Amazon and Target stores.

We will meet for six Thursday evening sessions beginning Thursday, March 3 at 7:00 p.m. on Zoom. Contact Pastor Dale if you have any questions or want to register your interest at dale@wentzsucc.org

Lent Is About Giving, Not Giving Up
The season of Lent is usually considered a time of sacrifice. This year, many of us have already given up our simple pleasures including spending time with friends and family. So, instead of giving up one more thing this year, Wentz’s is inviting you to give joy to others.
For families facing food insecurity, necessity negates niceties. We want to change that. Help spread joy by sharing a Birthday in a Bag. By supplying a few items to make someone’s day special, you can turn any day into a celebration!
Select a few items from the list below or others you may want to include, place them in a gift bag, and drop it off at Wentz’s any Saturday morning between now and April 3.
Suggested themes:
Birthday in a Bag – cake mix, cupcake liners or cake doilies, cooking oil, frosting and/or decorating icing, sprinkles, candles, plates, napkins, plastic ware, tablecloths, small decorations
Sweet Treats for Seniors – cake, quick bread, or cookie mix, cooking oil, small plates and napkins, puzzle books, notepad and pen
Bag Full of Sunshine – Cake, cookie, or bread mix, cooking oil, small plates and napkins, small decorations, small treats to brighten someone’s day
