Jerusalem Events
Soup Study Pray
Each Wednesday in Lent (2024) Jerusalem Evangelical Lutheran Church in Rothsville, PA and Brickerville United Lutheran Church in Brickerville, PA organized an evening of "Soup Study Pray." We gathered at 6 pm for soup and online interviews with friends from around the world. We ended with evening Vespers.
Our guests from around the world share their experience of the church in different places, and explore, from a Lutheran perspective, how churches work together and with others for the wellbeing of the world and its people. Below are links to those interviews.
