People of the Dust


Lent is the most brutally realistic liturgical season of the year — it's a time when we tell the truth about ourselves, our brokenness, our mortality, and nevertheless trust in God's redemptive love. We celebrate the gift of life with all its blessings and sorrows.

--Dan Clendenin


This Lenten season will be a feral, rewilding season as we get real about our dust-filled realities, and what God has done, and can still do, within both the dust and the hope of our lives and this world.

Scripture & DIALOGUE Questions

All are invited to hear and discern the Word of God together in dialogue at Emmaus Way each week. While the communal and embodied experience of dialogical preaching can't quite be recreated outside of the Sunday gathering, follow along here with the scripture passages and dialogue questions that are guiding our weekly conversations.

  • This Sunday, we begin with an intergenerational introduction to Lent. All ages (except nursery) will meet in the chapel to sing, encounter mystery and one another, and connect with our earthy origin story in Genesis.

    Wondering questions: 

    • I wonder what God liked the most about the earth creatures God created.
    • I wonder what that first human felt when they looked up and saw God face to face.
    • I wonder why our ancestors have told this story for thousands of years. What does it mean? What does it mean to you?

  • We will root our dialogue in John 9 and will pay careful attention to what feral, unexpected, desperately needed hope emerges in the before and after when dirt and spittle mix. What might be if, rather than turning away from mud, grime, and mess, we turn toward it and recognize from those very places God is at work? What transformational conversions and feral hope realities are only possible through getting into the mud and muck?

  • In Luke 9, Jesus tells his disciples to go out, proclaim the kingdom of God and perform miracles, but when they are not welcomed to leave and shake the dust off their feet. 

    This Sunday, we'll approach this scripture together and wonder about when it's time to leave some dust behind, to shake off what is clinging to us, and to move forward to new places.
