Wednesdays Together Series: Lent

Please join us each Wednesday night in Lent for a simple supper of soup and bread and a 30- to 40-minute study titled "We Might Have Known." Our topic of conversation will investigate Presbyterian understandings and uses of Scripture. Where do our beliefs about the Bible come from?

As always, the Wednesdays Together meals are free, but during Lent, we will receive donations for Together for Hope, a Jackson-based nonprofit that fights poverty in the Delta and other rural areas around the country. Together for Hope's programs assist rural communities with education, health, nutrition, housing, and entrepreneurship, and they advocate for policies that improve the lives of low-income families, including Medicaid expansion. They are led by Rev. Dr. Jason Coker, a friend of Fondren who has served as a guest preacher and speaker at Wednesdays Together. The donations received during Lent will be dedicated to work in the Delta.
