The Northern Province Provincial Racial Justice Team is pleased to announce a 2021 Lenten Series called “A New Way of Being: From Confession to Hope.” This series builds on the Advent material offered last year. Each session will include a reflection on the lectionary texts for the preceding Sunday, conversations among Moravians as they discuss their journey toward a growing awareness of racial justice and healing, and discussion questions.
The series is offered on five Wednesday evenings in Lent, starting after Ash Wednesday and concluding before Holy Week. The series is open to all Moravians in the Northern and Southern Provinces.
All sessions begin at 7 p.m. ET/ 6 p.m. CT/ 5 p.m. MT/ 4 p.m. PT and will be led by:
- February 24 Mark Breland and Betsy Miller
- March 3 Bevon White and Frank Crouch
- March 10 Rhonda and Tracy Robinson
- March 17 Amy Gohdes-Luhman and Tim Berry
- March 24 Bruce Nelson and Riddick Weber
Participants may participate live, via Zoom; the recordings of the material will also be posted on the Racial Justice and Healing section of the Northern Province website following each session. Congregations may choose to offer this series in a format and timing that fits their schedule.

Session recordings from each week will be posted on this page.
