Celebrating Mary Magdalene and Hidden Women of the Lectionary
On Thursday, October 3, 2024 FutureChurch was welcomed by the Caravita Community in Rome to host a prayer service entitled “Throw Open the Doors and Make Space at the Table: Celebrating the Hidden Women of the Lectionary.”
Through scripture readings, story telling, and prayer, the prayer service names and uplifts women whose stories are omitted, truncated, relegated to a weekday, misrepresented, made optional, or otherwise hidden by the lectionary.
FutureChurch Program associate, Martha Ligas, preached on the power of our names and being called by name. The music ministry was offered by Olivia Hastie and Russ Petrus of FutureChurch. Additional readers include Katie Lacz, Rose Lue, and Lucy Rieger. The prayer service concludes with a ritual blessing that names each participant and sends them forth to proclaim the resurrection.
