BELC News:
The community is invited to attend “Lenten University” 6-8 p.m. every Thursday in March at Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran Church (BELC) at 2390 North Road.
Lenten University is a multi-church gathering that includes a soup supper at 6 p.m., classes at 6:40 p.m., and at 7:30 p.m. a prayer service.
These gatherings of Los Alamos churches are one of the ways that community members traditionally observe the 40-day season of Lent, leading up to Easter.
On each of the five evenings, leaders and members from:
- Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran Church;
- First United Methodist Church;
- The United Church, White Rock Presbyterian Church;
- White Rock United Methodist Church; and
- Trinity on the Hill Episcopal Church take turns providing the soup supper, music and preaching.
Class offerings for adults include “Conversations with Gregory of Nyssa”, “The Psalms of Ascent”, “Bless the Lent We Actually Have”, “Deconstructing Faith”, and sessions led by the Los Alamos Jewish Center. Programs for children and youth also are available, and nursery attendants will be on duty for infants and toddlers.
Everyone is welcome to attend as many sessions as they wish, and no registration is required.
