FCCN Soul Sabbatical 2025: The Amen Effect-A Lenten Journey to Heal our Broken Hearts and World
- Date: Wednesday, March 26, 2025
- Time: 7:00pm–8:30pm
- Location: FCCN Parlor, 2 East Central St., Natick, MA 01760
During Lent this year we will explore the premise that sacred connection is the antidote to loneliness and alienation, and that turning to one another in compassion and curiosity is essential to our healing, both individually and collectively. We will dig into the human longing for connection – in relationships, in community, with God – that innate yearning to be known, to be seen, and to find our way, not alone, but together.
You are invited to join our small group gatherings on Wednesday evenings during Lent this year. We will meet 5 times with our small group and do daily devotional work on our own for 45 days to strengthen our individual understanding of these issues and to enrich the group discussions.
You will need a few resources for this Soul Sabbatical:
• The book The Amen Effect by Sharon Brous, copyright 2024, Penguin Random House *Copies have been ordered @ Ten Trees Bookstore on Main St.
• Soul Sabbatical Participant Guide (available after March 2 from the church office)
• A journal to write your reflections (optional)
• A candle, if you wish
Each week will have the same rhythm ~ We will use a variety of prayer practices to dig deeper into the idea that life is better when we travel together. That the connections we have with one another are essential to live and thrive as whole persons. We hope that you will consider joining us on this journey of discovery. Contact Sarallyn to register for the Soul Sabbatical.
Even if you are unable to join us for the small group gatherings, you can pick up a copy of the Lenten materials and participate in these spiritual practices at home.
