I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples.
~ John 13:34-35
These words from Jesus come to us on Maundy Thursday – the night Jesus is denied, betrayed, arrested, and abandoned before going to the cross. To love one another is the mark of the Christian – that which shows who Christians are, that describes their life. This Lent we hear what it means for those in our family of faith at St. James to “love one another.”

Dietrich Bonhoeffer Lenten Series
As people of faith, we ask ourselves deep questions about what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. Who are we called to be within the space where our civic life and faith intersect? Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s writings invite us into this struggle as we determine our next best step in a broken and imperfect world. In this series we experience Bonhoeffer’s call to go deeply into the question of who Christ is for us as we seek to love our neighbors. Based on a rich curriculum offered to congregations from LAMPa (Lutheran Advocacy Ministry in Pennsylvania) written by Dr. Lori Brandt Hale of Augsburg University and the President of the International Bonhoeffer Society, we will explore 4 modules:
Sunday, March 1: Lesson 1: Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s life
Sunday, March 8: Lesson 2: It’s About the Neighbor
Sunday, March 15: Lesson 3: Faith is Worldly
Sunday, March 22: Lesson 4: Taking a Stand
We hope that you will join us for this BROWN BAG LUNCH SERIES as we allow Bonhoeffer’s words to encourage a deepening of our own journey of discipleship and faithfulness.
Time: 12:15 immediately following the second service to 1:30
Location: St. James Library
Your Facilitator: Amy Duncan, member of St. James
