Various Dates - All begins Saturday, February 21

Alternates between the Red Deer Lake site and McDougall site

During Lent, Rev. Danah Cox invites people from our shared ministry of Red Deer Lake, McDougall, and Ogden United Churches, as well as the wider community to take part in a shared creative program focusing on Lenten themes of suffering, release, and triumph drawing on deep personal connections, scriptures, and stories of global social justice. This is open to artists and non-artists alike with many ways and mediums to engage creatively.

Participants will be invited to Saturday lunch and discussions at the Red Deer Lake site (upper room) and open studio times on Tuesday evenings at the McDougall site (basement). Thursday evening zoom meetings are also available by appointment.

Mondays in Lent (February 23 – March 30)

McDougall Site

12:00–2:00 pm

Free lunch provided (contributions welcome)

Join us this Lent for a weekly lunch and book study rooted in thoughtful conversation and shared reflection.

We’ll read “Hope: A User’s Manual” by MaryAnn McKibben Dana; a practical and grounded exploration of hope as something we cultivate together in the midst of a complex and hurting world. The book invites honest engagement with justice, weariness, faith, and resilience, offering language and practices for sustaining hope over time. (Note: the McDougall  church office will have a couple of copies available for short term borrowing)

Registration isn’t required (drop-ins are always welcome), but if you plan to attend, letting us know assists with planning! Please contact the McDougall church office at 403.252.1620 or office@mcdunited.com.

All are welcome.
