Good Enough: A Lenten Experience
“We live in a culture bent on definitions of a good life as continuous upward mobility—climbing ladders of prosperity with increasingly fabulous experiences that we can post to ever-more likable social media accounts. We may comb the shelves of the self-help section in search of just the right formula to gain success…(Yet) life happens…most times we are not moving upward but trying to repair the rung we’ve just slipped from. So what if we stopped climbing and started fertilizing, water, and blooming right where we find ourselves?” Dr. Marcia McPhee “Good Enough: Embracing the Imperfections of life and faith.”
Take a step of faith with Woodlawn Chapel during these weeks leading up to Easter. Our Lenten worship series will draw inspiration from a book by Dr. Kate Bowler and Jessica Richie: Good Enough—40-ish devotionals for a life of imperfection. Dr. Marcia McFee has adapted Bowler’s work for a worship series that will look at the ways which God supports us in a faith-quest that is “never perfect, but good enough.”
We will celebrate communion every Sunday, and always welcome all who trust in Christ to join us at the table. Here’s a preview of our upcoming worship and sermon themes:
March 9, 2025 Luke 4:1-13 First Sunday in Lent – “Ordinary Lives Can Be Holy” – Rev. Chris Keating
