For Lent this year, our worship focus centers around reflections gained from Jurgen Moltmann’s 1975 book, The Crucified God. This incredible book, claimed by some to be the most important theological work in the later portion of the 20th Century, wrestles with the question of the presence of God through perplexing trouble and long-suffering. For the truly ambitious, you are invited to read this work that will be referenced through many sermons this month and next. For those seeking a more readable classic, Elie Wiesel’s Night is another book to aid in your Lenten devotional practice this year.
