ST. STEPHEN’S PARISH
LENTEN STUDY PROGRAM 2018
11 a.m.
Tuesdays,
20 February - 20 March
St. Stephen’s Parish
Centre
This year,
we will study C. S. Lewis’ The Screwtape
Letters.
At once
wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original,
C. S. Lewis
gives us the correspondence
of the
worldly-wise old devil to his nephew Wormwood,
a novice
demon in charge of securing the damnation
of an
ordinary young man.
“The Screwtape Letters” is the most
engaging and
humourous account of temptation
- and triumph over
it
- ever written”.
Participants
are asked to acquire their own copies
(available
both in physical and ebook form).
However, if
you would like to participate,
and need
assistance, please contact the Parish Office
(902-275-3804 or ststephensparish@ns.sympatico.ca)
not later
than Monday, 4 February 2018.
