Our annual Lenten Lecture Series, presented by Boston Avenue UMC’s Barton-Clinton-Gordey committee, invites you to join us in thinking deeply about faith and scripture through a series of presentations from a distinguished religious speaker or scholar.

This year’s guest lecturer is Rev. Rachel Billups, author of, "An Unlikely Lent: Extraordinary People of the Easter Story," which is our Lenten discipleship study this year.

Rachel is an innovative thinker, inspirational speaker, and collaborative leader who serves as Senior Pastor at New Albany United Methodist Church in New Albany, Ohio. She is known for her leadership at national gatherings, is a co-founder of www.hub4innovation.org, and is the author of "An Unlikely Lent: Extraordinary People of the Easter Story", "BE BOLD: Finding Your Fierce", and "An Unlikely Advent: Extraordinary People of the Christmas Story", all published by Abingdon Press. Rev. Billups is an ordained Elder within the United Methodist Church and holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Bible/Religion and History from Anderson University and a Master of Divinity Degree from Duke Divinity School.

We hope you join us for one (or more) of the three opportunities to hear from Rachel!
