Lenten Series at Grace Episcopal Church

Lenten Series at Grace Episcopal
 

Each year on the first Sunday of Lent we read the Gospel
story of the three temptations of Christ in the wilderness after his baptism. 
Have you ever examined them closely? Have you ever read or seen art or
literature based on these temptations? These questions and more are the theme of
this year’s Lenten Study Program at Grace Episcopal Church
The program will meet on Tuesday evenings from 7-8:30 p.m. at Grace
Episcopal Church, 150 Chapel Street.  Attend one or all the sessions.  All
sessions are free and open to the public.  The topics for each
weekly session are listed below.


March 11: What do the Gospels of Mark,
Matthew, and Luke tell us about the temptations? How are they similar; how are
they different?
