Lord's Prayer Study
A Lenten Offering 

Reflections of the Lord’s Prayer, Four Sundays in Lent, February 21st and 28th, March 14th and 21st - Do you remember the first time you heard the Lord’s Prayer? Most probably can’t remember the first time we heard it because it just has always been a part of our lives. We share it here at Samuel each and every Sunday, but how often do we pause to consider what we are really saying as we pray it?

Martin Luther once described the Lord’s Prayer as the greatest martyr, “for everybody tortures and abuses it.” Much of the abuse simply comes from familiarity. Because we say it so often and because its words have the flow of poetry, we are inclined to recite it without thinking – we speak it without investment of either mind or heart.

What are we saying when we pray the “Lord’s Prayer” together?” Join us after worship, on four Sundays of Lent as we make the time to consider this prayer Jesus taught us to pray in a careful way.

We will meet in the downstairs in the Wiese Hall from 11:30am to 12:30pm. Child care will be provided. So, grab some snacks during fellowship time to hold you over, enjoy conversation and discussion, and you’ll be out in plenty of time to go home or go out for lunch.

Pastor Jeff will be leading the study and conversation. Each session concentrates on a major theme or phrase of the prayer in the hope that this familiar prayer will be renewed and will hold ever deeper meaning for you.

It would be great if you can join us for all four sessions, but even if you can only make one or two, you are more than welcome to participate. Lent is a great time to slow down and carve out some intentional time with God. This study may be just the food for thought and soul you are looking for.
