Many churches, Protestant and Catholic, have a tradition of a simple community meal and a time of study of the scriptures during the season of Lent. Lent is the 40 days (minus Sundays) that precede Easter in the Christian calendar. It is a time of prayer and reflection, confession and repentance--and intentional recommitment to living more Christlike lives.
At my church, Church of God of Landisville, this is called SOUP AND SCRIPTURE. It meets every Wednesday night beginning this evening. A light meal of soup, salad, bread (the soup created by our great soup chefs) served beginning at 6:00 pm. Then at 7:00 we participate in an inductive Bible study. This year four lay persons and my associate pastor are leading a study on the events and teaching from Christ's last week before his crucifixion. Roger Fry, one of our elders and the teacher for one of our adult classes, Friendship, will be teaching. You can read more about this at our website, www.coglandisville.org
