A Spring in the Desert

2025 Lenten Study

This Lent, join us as we study the book A Spring in the Desert by Frank and Victoria Logue. Jesus stepped out of the water of baptism into uninhabitable wilderness, emerging forty days later to offer the water of life for those thirsting for God’s presence. A little more than two centuries later, a group of Christians withdrew from a spiritually barren Roman Empire to find their faith blossom in the stony soil of the Egyptian desert. This Lenten journey is inspired by the many passages of scripture that use images of water in the desert as a sign of the healing and wholeness that come through God alone. Added to this is the distilled wisdom of the Desert Mothers and Fathers and the surprisingly rich inspiration of the plants and animals that thrive in an arid land. Along the way, we will learn the ways our faith speaks to the barren places in our lives and how those times of drought can be a source of strength.

Sessions will be held on Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m. at St. Thomas beginning March 11, and Wednesdays at 11 a.m. at Calvary beginning March 12.  This study will run for 5 weeks. Please sign up at the podium in Parish Hall.
