Welcome to the All Saints Lutheran Home Page!
Concrete Faith in a Crumbling World is the theme for Lent this year. With concepts and ideas you can sink your teeth, toes, and fingers into we will be exploring the many ways that we are already practicing our faith as Christians.
Using An Altar in the World by Barbara Brown Taylor as the base for our Weekly Wednesday Night worship starting with Ash Wed., on February 17th, we will consider simple practices of discovering the sacred in our everyday lives.
“If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say, ‘I am spiritual but not religious,’ then I might not be any wiser about what that means – but I would be richer.”
Taylor goes on to write, “I have no idea what you will see when you look at your life – but you are tired of arguing about religion, tired of reading about spirituality, tired of talk-talk-talking about things that matter yourself, then the pages that follow are dedicated to you. My hope is that reading them will help you recognize some of the altars in the world.”
You don’t need the book in order to grasp the simple ways our Christian faith can be expressed day by day, but what you will need is the willingness to get lost, wake up to God, wear your skin fully, encounter the other, live with purpose, pay attention, say ‘No!’, and pronounce a blessing – to name just a few.
Come and join us for what is going to be a solid application of our faith in Jesus Christ. I don’t know about you but I could use a little more concrete faith in a crumbling world.
