This personal spiritual reflec*on was so well received that the Worship Commi8ee is doing it again for the 2016 Lenten season. We are asking for people to choose one of the Psalms, reflect on it and write a couple of paragraphs (at most). Because Judson has always been about "what do you think or believe" we hope this spiritual exercise a8racts as many voices as possible from Judson. Listed below is the updated list for this year's Psalms. A copy of the full list is located on the table in the back of the sanctuary. Note that several of them are asking for mul*ple readers. Simply send the psalms you want to reflect on to [email protected] in the office. Then read and reflect and return your reflec*on to [email protected]. We will gather the responses and publish on a weekly basis throughout lent. Thank you for reading and responding and God bless your efforts.
