Our journey through Lent this year will be simple and deep. We will walk with Jesus through the last week of his life, as portrayed in Luke 20-23 and relevant companion readings.

  • We are each encouraged to fast in one way or another.
  • We are each invited to take five minutes of silence to start each day, inviting the Lord to speak to us.
  • We are each invited to read the day’s scripture and reflect on it by journaling, discussion and/or meditation. Thank about the meaning and intent of the passage. Think about its implications for you and others. (Free bibles are available at the church.)

Fasting: During Lent, millions of Christians are fasting from something. Fasting often involves not eating food in some way. Sometimes, that can be a total abstention, a “water fast”. We don’t recommend these at any length beyond a couple of days unless you have a good deal of experience fasting and are under a doctor’s supervision. And we also don’t recommend water fasts if you’ve ever suffered from an eating disorder. Other fasts involve not eating a certain kind of food, tv or social media – anything that feels costly to give up for a bit while you focus on being close to God.
