Lent 2023
A Rule of Life
During the season of Lent, we invite you to join us as we commit ourselves to the practices of formation, fellowship, & fasting together.
Formation
Scripture • Take time to engage with the 40 day reading plan.
Prayer • Make space each day to spend time in prayer. It may be helpful to utilize the Book of Common Prayer, The Valley of Vision, or other prayer resources.
Fellowship
Weekly Eucharist • Commit to worshiping with your church family every Sunday over the next 40 days. Plan out your week, prioritize your time, and join us in worship.
Fasting
A Distraction • Prayerfully discern one distraction in your life to fast from. It could be social media, television, using your phone in the evenings, whatever it might be, ask the Lord where you are distracted in life and what you need to give up.
A Comfort • Lent is a time in which we intentionally give up comforts in our lives. We don’t earn God’s favor by giving up the good things of life, but we do have an opportunity to give up worldly comforts to find a greater comfort in the presence of our Lord.
