Join us as we begin our Lenten series, Elements

For many, religion is a taboo subject at best and a curse word at worst. Because of the excess of some expressions of religion, it’s become popular to abandon the idea altogether, preferring some sort of ‘spiritual, but not religious’ posture. Yet not all expressions of religion are toxic and there are many benefits to faith that only religious structure can offer.

Join us this Lenten season as we seek to examine the elements of the Christian religion – how they formed and why they still matter today.

John 4:19-26

Religion

19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I see that you are a prophet. 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem.” 21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 But the hour is coming and is now here when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” 25 The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When he comes, he will proclaim all things to us.” 26 Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who is speaking to you.”

Lent 2023

2023 Lenten Devotionals

The theme for this year’s Lenten journey is “Elements.” The weekly messages will focus on different elements, or building blocks, of our religious lives, such as communion, baptism, the liturgical calendar, and sacred spaces. Why are these structures and rituals important to us? What other building blocks have been important in your faith?

We are asking you to take part in our daily Lenten devotionals by sharing a photo or song that represents an element of your religious life. Please email your photo or song to office@gototapestry.org. If you are sending a song, send a link to a publicly accessible performance, such as YouTube.

Daily emails will continue through Easter Sunday.

We hope it will make the journey through Lent more meaningful as we explore these building blocks with our church family.

Lenten book study

Join us for a Lenten book study! From local (Indianapolis) authors and pastors Ben Sternke and Matt Tebbe, we will dive into their book,

Having the Mind of Christ: Eight Axioms to Cultivate a Robust Faith.

This study will cover eight practical ways to deepen our walk with Jesus.

There will be two options for study:

1) Beginning February 28th, in-person meetings will be Tuesdays at 10am at Tapestry/Risen Lord in room in #3

2) Thursdays via Zoom, beginning March 2nd at 7pm.

This study will run for the six weeks of Lent and culminate in an in-person final meeting following our Maundy Thursday service on April 6th.

We have sold all of the discounted books we had in stock. If you need a copy of the book, you can find it at bookstores, Amazon, and Christianbook.com. Christian Books have a deeply discounted electronic version for $9.99. Click Here
