Salt and Light: Becoming the New Christian Counterculture

Sundays in Lent

Using the Beatitudes as a Lenten guide, we will reflect on who we are and who we are becoming as a Christian community shaped by grace. Jesus' Sermon on the Mount invites us into the 'blessed' life that is a surprising reversal of the powers and values of this world. The community of 'Salt and Light' subverts the order of this world offering a new way of love. Lent is an opportunity to reflect on how we are becoming, with God's help, the 'blessed' counter-cultural community that the world needs at this moment.
