Marching from Pain To Possibility
During the season of Lent, we’ll spend some time watching and discussing a film series that focuses on the wilderness times of life. The five-session series features several prominent church and community leaders who offer perspective on what it means to move, as the subtitle suggests, “from woundedness to wholeness.” The series is titled “Marching from Pain to Possibility: A Film Series on the Journey from Woundedness to Wholeness.” Each film ranges from 8-13 minutes, which allows ample time for conversation and devotional practices.
The five sessions are listed below:
-
March 9, SESSION ONE // Surrendering to Pain - “Infinitely Trustworthy” film with James Finely
-
March 16, SESSION TWO // Giving Voice to Pain - “Pain and Marching” film with Peter Block and Walter Brueggemann
-
March 23, SESSION THREE // Unmasking the Scapegoat - “Subversion from Within” film with James Alison
-
March 30, SESSION FOUR // The Possibility of Wounds - “Pain to Possibility” film with Marlon Hall
-
April 6, SESSION FIVE // Sitting with the Wounded - “Healing Justice” film Faith Matters Network’s Jennifer Bailey, Robyn Henderson-Espinoza, and Micky ScottBey Jones

Thursday Morning Bible Study
Signs and Wonders: A Beginner’s Guide to the Miracles of Jesus”
Every Thursday — 10:30 am
Zoar’s Thursday morning Bible Study group is in the middle of a six-week study, Signs and Wonders: A Beginner’s Guide to the Miracles of Jesus, authored by Dr. Amy-Jill Levine. It’s a very “meaty” study, and there’s a lot to digest, so we’re finding we need to spend two weeks on each chapter. We’d love to have you join us!
Here’s the tentative schedule for the coming weeks:
-
March 6 “A Two-Stage Miracle: Seeing Again” (part I)
-
March 13 “A Two-Stage Miracle: Seeing Again” (part II)
-
March 20 “The Raising of Lazarus: Taking Death Seriously” (part I)
-
March 27 “The Raising of Lazarus: Taking Death Seriously” (part II)
-
April 3 “Being Saved”
