Lent Learning’s A few scenes from the
PromiseLand Christmas Pageant
The observance of Lent is an ancient practice. In 203 AD St.
Irenaeus wrote to Pope St. Victor I, regarding the differences
in the practices of communities leading up to Easter. In this
21st century, the rhythm of Lent does not always fit into our
lives. People observe Lent in different ways and with different
intent. This year we are pleased to be able to offer you three
different opportunities for observing Lent. Our hope is that
one of these opportunities will fit with the rhythm of your
life and offer you an opportunity to observe an intentional
Lent.
The Emperor
40 Day Journey with Dietrich Bonhoeffer Augustus and
Toward the end of his life, in a letter to a friend written his scribes
from his prison cell, Bonhoeffer confessed: “What is bother-
ing me most incessantly is the question of what Christianity
really is, or indeed, who Christ really is, for us today.”
(Letters and Papers from Prison, 279, from the Preface of ‘40-
Day Journey with Dietrich Bonhoeffer’).
It is – or should be – a perennial question.
The Archangel
This observance of Lent can be done individually, as a

book, which is available from Samantha (cost $15.00).
There will be two meetings: the first on Ash Wednesday
(time to be confirmed), will be to answer any questions
about how to use the book throughout Lent. The second
meeting will be sometime in Holy Week, at a time agreed
on by the participants, to check in about the journey.
During the 40 day journey Samantha will be available by
email, telephone or appointment for participants.
Sundays in Lent – Lunch and Learn
At 11:30am on Sundays, March 13th, 20th, and 27th, join
Tom Greene in the Arthur Smith Room for a look at the
readings for Lent. The study will last one hour and conclude
at 12:30. Bring a bag lunch; tea and coffee will be provided.
Each Sunday the lessons of the day and the lessons of the
week to come will be reviewed. To register please speak to The shepherds come to worship the Baby
Tom Greene.
Tuesday’s in Lent – From Ashes to Equality
Join Samantha Caravan on Tuesday evenings beginning at
7pm on March 15th, 22nd, and 29th in the Arthur Smith
Room for a look at a progressive Lenten study. Topics to
consider include: Waters of Life, Breath of God, Equality of

thank you to everyone who assisted with our Christmas
Pageant. What a dynamic and fun way to end the year! I
would especially like to thank Norm Nurmi for composing
the beautiful song “On the Road to Bethlehem” —- the
kids had such fun singing it! We hope that next year’s
pageant can be even bigger and better!
This winter season, the kids of PromiseLand will be exploring
the Prophets of the Old Testament - Micah, Isaiah and
Amos - and learning about their struggle for justice. We
will then embark on our own journey for justice by writing
letters to our governments and showing them how much
we care about bringing justice to our world.
I’m looking forward to continuing to laugh and learn with
the inspiring kids of CCDP!
