LENTEN MARTYRS Wednesday Night Theme

For our Mid-week Lenten Services in 2011. We are going to have a brief service of Confession and then consider the witness of five giants of the Christian faith. I am calling them:

LENTEN MARTYRS


3/16 Patrick of Ireland
3/23 Jonathan Edwards
3/30 Dietrich Bonhoeffer
4/ 6 Martin Luther King, Jr.
4/13 Oscar Romero

I chose these five because all were either killed or died during the season of Lent. (Thanks Marcus Borg for getting me to research this a bit.)

Service is at 7:15pm on the designated Wednesdays at First United Lutheran Church of Dallas, Texas.

    This is a great idea for a theme. I had no idea all of these people were killed/died during Lent. How interesting. Wish I could be there to learn and pray with you all.
