Lent Book Group

AND SO I WALKED by Anne Gardner

This Lent, you are warmly invited to journey with us in a new book group as part of our Lenten series, The Way.

We’ll be reading And So I Walked by Anne Gardner, a thoughtful, honest, and deeply human reflection on faith, doubt, courage, and the sacredness of the journey itself. This book invites us to walk slowly, notice deeply, and reflect honestly on where we have been and where we are being led.

The Schedule

Mondays, beginning February 23 at 4:00 PM through March 30

To keep the reading manageable and well-balanced, we’ll move through the book together over six weeks:

Reading Schedule

Feb 23 – Chapters 1–5, pp. 13–38

Mar 2 – Chapters 6–10, pp. 39–71

Mar 9 – Chapters 11–19, pp. 75–112

Mar 16 – Chapters 20–26, pp. 115–149

Questions?

If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Pastor Patty at pastor@newmarketchurch.org.

You don’t need to be an “expert reader,” and you don’t need to have all the answers. This group is about reflecting together as we walk this Lenten season side by side. Whether you are feeling grounded, searching, hopeful, weary, or somewhere in between, you are welcome here!
