Covenant Class • Fellowship Hall

Keeping Sacred Time: An Exploration of Life’s Rhythms

What rhythms are driving your life? This Covenant Class series

is an invitation to look closely at this question and explore the

sacred rhythms woven into the world today. The Lenten season

offers a unique opportunity to examine one’s practices, habits, and daily routines, and to shift focus toward deeper alignment with God. Together, we’ll examine how these rhythms— both individual and collective—can guide us toward deeper connection with God and towards lives of deeper compassion for ourselves and others.

Today, Dr. Andy Watts will present on soul-centric life rhythms in a rhythmless society, referencing Christian mysticism, indigenous practices, and eco-psychological human development. Dr. Watts is a Professor of Religion at Belmont.

Congregational Care Class

LIVING AS THOSE PREPARED TO DIE, DYING AS THOSE PREPARED TO LIVE

Our faith calls us to affirm that "(i)n life and in death we belong to God" (PCUSA Brief Statement of Faith).

Dr. Tiffany Hines and Rev. Heidi Hudnut-Beumler will provide the third class in the Congregational Care series on preparing for end-of-life. How to plan a memorial service celebrating life and witnessing to the resurrection will be covered, as well as how to talk with your family about advance directives and understanding palliative/hospice care.

Resources will be shared, and the class format will include plenty of time for discussion and questions. If you are unable to join us but would like to receive resources, please be in touch with Heidi, hhudnutbeumler@nashvillewpc.org.

Young Families • Overlook Room

Story-Telling and the Bible

How often do you and your kids pick up a Bible? How often do you tell stories from the Bible to your kid(s)? How many stories from the bible do you know?? Why is storytelling even important in the first place?

This four-week series will lead us into deeply rich and deeply practical conversations about scripture, storytelling as it relates to the Bible, and why they matter for us and our kids. We'll talk about our own experiences with scripture and hopes we have for our kids as they grow and think through really tangible ways to move deeper into a relationship with scripture as a family. Promise this will be worth your time. Plan to join us!

9:45 a.m. • Sunday School

Practicing Together

Wondering what to do this Lent? Tired of just giving up

chocolate? Wonder no more. Join us this Lent for an

intergenerational Sunday School class exploring spiritual

formation. This class will learn about a variety of spiritual

practices across four Sundays, including Lectio Divina,

Sabbath, Anam Cara, the Examen, and Visual Prayer. Not

only will we be introduced to these disciplines and practice

them in class, but we’ll also discuss how they can help us meaningfully engage in Holy Week and prepare us for the world-changing good news of Easter. This class is

intentionally intergenerational, and all ages from youth and up are welcome! Don’t just give up chocolate this year, add our intergenerational spiritual formation class as your

Lenten practice this year. Invite an (intergenerational) friend to join you! Led by Adam DeVries and Will Wellman.

5:00 p.m. • Spring Parent Gathering at the Orndorff's home. Contact Hannah Norris, hnorris@nashvillewpc.org, for more info.

You can expect to hear an update from Adam DeVries, Parish Associate for Youth, on our youth staff hiring process, receive the youth ministry schedule of events for the summer and the fall, and find out ways to join in Westminster’s ministry to youth.
