Pre-Lenten Workshop

Good and Perfect Gifts:A Lenten Sermon Series on Isaiah 56–66

Themes, sermons outlines, hymns, prayers, and liturgical elements for the Lenten season and Holy Week.

 January 18, 2013 – 9:00 a.m.– 4:00 p.m., President’s Room – Pritzlaff hall

 Each sermon in this series takes up a specific gift from a text in Isaiah 56–66, interprets it through the life and times of Isaiah, and then creatively applies it to Christians as they journey in Lent from the cross to the empty tomb. Workshop participants will not only become more familiar with this oft-neglected section of Isaiah, but they will be equipped and inspired to proclaim God’s good and perfect gifts that flow from our Savior’s bitter suffering and death.

Registration Deadline January 11, 2013
