2009 Summer Events
Evangelical Lutheran Worship invites us to keep Ash Wednesday through Easter in a new–old way. At our summer retreats, we will worship using the services for Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Vigil of Easter. We join in reflection, study, and discussion of the cross and empty tomb, baptism and Bible – the meaning of this journey for ourselves and the world.
