Forgiveness: A Lenten Study

Join us on Saturday Mornings for FORGIVENESS: A LENTEN STUDY.  

Forgiving others and humbly asking for forgiveness are central disciplines for all Christian believers.  Lent, a time to reflect on our Christian journey, is an appropriate time to deepen our understanding and practice of forgiveness.  Marjorie J. Thompson, author of the best-selling book Soul Feast, takes a close look at our understanding of forgivenes in this encouraging study.  In six brief chapters, Thompson addresses such questions as the following:

  • Is forgiveness a Christian duty under all circumstances? Or are there situations when Christians do not need to forgive?
  • Is forgiveness a matter between individuals, or is it meaningful only in the context of communities?
  • Is forgiving the best route to healing for the injured?
  • How do we get past emotional barriers to real forgiveness?

Using biblical examples and real-life situations, Thompson illustrates each chapter's theme in an informative and engaging way. 

Classes begin February 25th with an introduction to the book.  Books can be purchases on Amazon.  Please bring your book to the first class.
