Bring your best...

Lent is a strange season, one that seems to go by without being acknowledged by anyone who isn't a church geek. Still, the Lent traditions, including the disciplined reading of holy texts together, are  ancient practices, that put our little-church-with-a-big-mission squarely in the deep history of the mission of Jesus. Bible study is an art form, one we need to keep keen and practiced. There is so much out there that is sloppy, trite, and unhelpful.
Fewer and fewer people are even aware of how much our modern world is letting go of this practice. Let's do better, church geeks.
