Observing Lent

This year Lent begins on February 18th. In the Ash Wednesday liturgy, we receive an invitation to observe a Holy Lent: 

As disciples of Jesus, we are called to a discipline that contends against evil and resists whatever leads us away from love of God and neighbor. I invite you, therefore, to the discipline of Lent—self-examination and repentance, prayer and fasting, sacrificial giving and works of love—strengthened by the gifts of word and sacrament. Let us continue our journey through these forty days to the great Three Days of Jesus’ death and resurrection.

There are a variety of opportunities that our church provides to help you observe Lent.

• Mid-Week Lenten Study, Tuesdays, 5:30PM @ Christ United
  Embracing and Living the Grace of God - We talk alot about the abundant Grace of God, but what does that mean and how do we allow it to guide our lives and actions? Come join us for this conversation as we explore what it means to live God’s Grace. Bring a sack meal with you if you desire. Our time will conclude by 7:00PM.​

• Home Devotion. There are a variety of resources available for daily devotions at home. Committing to 40 days of devotion can be the start of a new habit. 

  • Lenten devotions from Episcopal Relief and Development includes a short written reflection and video.

  • Lenten Calendar from ELCA World Hunger

  • Join Bishop Julie and Pastor Bryan for morning and evening prayer of Bishop Julie’s Facebook page.
