Preparing for Lent

One week from today, the season of Lent begins. The season lasts six weeks, culminating in the celebration of Easter, and is a time of personal spiritual renewal. Many people observe Lent today by choosing to make some kind of personal sacrifice as we make our hearts ready to remember Jesus' life, death, and resurrection.

If you're interested in observing Lent this year, here are a couple of additional activities you might consider:

• The congregation is hosting a small group of people interested in exploring various spiritual practices. If you'd like to join the group, please contact Brittany Mangelson.
• 40 Acts is a generosity challenge created by the UK Christian charity, Stewardship. Each day you'll receive a simple challenge in your email inbox, encouraging you to perform service to others.
