Lenten Activities
Participate in our Lenten Morning Prayer to start your day with meditation and shared prayers during this Lenten season. Join our Zoom prayer meeting at 8 am every Monday through Friday, starting February 19 for six weeks. Different leaders will lead each day for about half an hour. To receive the Zoom link, please click the image above and fill out the form.
Join us on the mat for Christ-centered Yoga, inspired by Kate Bowler's book, Have a Beautiful Terrible Day! We'll meet in Room 305 at 7pm each Tuesday during Lent, beginning February 20, for this Christ-centered program with Alyssa Ruch. Bring your yoga mat if you have one, but we'll have spares just in case! A free will offering will be accepted.
Are you looking for something other than chocolate or ice cream to give up for Lent? Keep all of your junk food and give up plastic instead! The Green Team has provided Lenten calendars to help reduce your plastic use through Lent. We know it’s impossible to give up plastic altogether, but TOGETHER let’s intentionally reduce our plastic use. Calendars can be found in the welcome center or click the image above.
