The table was central to the ministry of Jesus. He broke bread, shared meals and built relationships at tables with all kinds of people. We too are table people. During the season of Lent, we will share stories of Jesus at many different tables and explore the tables we sit at with others.

Lenten Study
The Gospels are full of stories of Jesus sharing meals and fellowship at many different kinds of tables. Anytime Jesus was at a table he imparted wisdom, grace and love. We will use the book, Meeting Jesus at the Table by Cynthia M. Campbell and Christine Coy Fohr. We will use this book to look at biblical insights about the time Jesus spent at tables and the times we are at tables and with whom. Please contact the church office to sign up for one of the studies and get the book ( office@sunprairieumc.org or 608/837-5554).

Then our worship will move into a Tenebrae service of darkness where we will hear the passion story of Jesus and the last words of Jesus from the cross. We will end our worship in darkness and silence.
