Life together this Lent
In recent months, we’ve used the word “community” a lot at CtK—often in the context of CMG discussions. But what, exactly, is community? Why is community so important to Christian life? What makes a Christian community unique? And what can we do to strengthen our community within and beyond these walls?
This Lenten season, you are invited to consider these questions through the lens of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Life Together. Although Bonhoeffer lived in a time and place (Nazi-era Germany) shaped by the worst of human behavior, he never wavered in his belief that people need other people to live as Christ intended. In his words, “Christianity means community through Jesus Christ and in Jesus Christ. No Christian community is more or less than this.”
Throughout Life Together, Bonhoeffer provides simple yet radical guidance on how to cultivate and sustain shared life in Christ. Although our circumstances are far different than Bonhoeffer’s, his advice speaks to us today—especially as we seek to connect more deeply with each other and with the community at large through the CMG process.
Join the Sunday and Wednesday Adult Bible Study groups as they consider Life Together in greater depth throughout Lent.
Wednesday's during Lent we will meet at 7:00 p.m. for worship using the Holden Evening Prayer Service.
Thank you for your interest in pursuing this new way of life together. If you have questions, please contact Sarah Felde at sfelde@ctkluth.com.
