Lent is the forty-day period which culminates in Easter. Coinciding with the seasonal transition from winter to spring, Lent is a time of renewal for our faith and dedication to love God and neighbors through the practices of prayer, fasting, giving, and service.

Below are several resources and opportunities to enter into these practices together throughout the season. May God renew our faith, kindle our love, and prepare our hearts for the celebration of resurrection!

Prayer

Daily Prayer with Seeking God’s Face booklet.

Guided Prayer Retreat (Saturday, March 23rd, 10am-12pm)

Fasting

Give up a cherished food or undesired habit and replace it with an intentional practice.

Examples:

• Simplify meals and give extra grocery money to those in need.

• Turn off TV/phone and be present with family and friends.

• Commit to worrying less and take time to cultivate new dreams.

Giving

Raise funds for REACH OUT homeless shelters.

• REACH OUT homeless shelters operate on a minimum budget of $5,000 per month. Anonymous donors have agreed to match what we can raise as a church to extend care for additional months.

Service

Feed the REACH OUT men’s shelter from March 25th – 31st.
