About
The Thorne Sparkman School offers a dynamic opportunity each Lent for Christians and seekers to gather in community each Wednesday evening with others from across our city for a rich time of learning, fellowship, worship, and faith exploration, with first-class scholars and teachers. This year's offerings will focus around themes such as difference, reconciliation, and spiritual growth through the lenses of scripture, contemplative thought in light of current events.
