Sarah's CircleFriends are blessings that sustain our journeys. |
n my past, I have been part of several Lenten study groups and prayer groups. It seems that most of those memories stem from the years in Enid that were the most stable in our family's life. We were very active in the Episcopal church and enjoyed a circle of friends through that connection. Right after Vatican 2 the Roman Catholic church offered a Lenten prayer service for everyone to attend and take communion together. It was at 7:30am on a Wednesday morning each week, so the RC's didn't have to worry about being overtaken by Protestant outsiders. I really enjoyed the service, read in English, and shared by a small group that came together regularly. For a few years we had a Seder Meal on Maundy Thursday in our home. We had a script and followed it with the bitter herbs, flat bread, roasted lamb and the cups of wine. It was a special time for our guests and us. Now I'm not doing anything this year for Lent; thinking about past times that were happy, denying the bad and living today with hope for a future of connections again. --donna
