Lent at Augustana Lutheran Church
Lent Theme: Is Any Body There? Yes!
Jesus lived on our earth as we do, sharing with us an embodied presence. During Lent, we are invited into reflection on what it means to be human, as embodied people who are longing for connection, healing, and hope. And—because of Easter—we are now the Body of Christ, alive in the world.
Sundays
Each week the pastors will incorporate the theme “Is Any Body There? Yes!” into their sermons, and we will reflect on themes related to the Body of Christ.
