Lent 2021
"Even now," declares the Lord, "return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning." Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity." -Joel 2:12-13
Lent is an intentional season of spiritual reflection and preparation beginning Ash Wednesday (February 17th) and leading up to Easter Sunday (April 4th). As a church, we are offering different ways during this time to engage in community through Bible study, prayer, conversation, worship, and corporate fasting. Below, you will find various opportunities to participate and seek the face of the Lord during this time.

On Thursdays during Lent, we invite you to consider fasting entirely from food (either for 24 hours or from sunrise to sunset) as a way of corporately engaging together in prayer and seeking the Lord's face during this important season. Although challenging, the practice of fasting helps raise our awareness of God and reminds us of our dependence on the Lord. Pastor Evan will share more about the importance and impact of fasting as a part of his "Deep Dive" study.
As well as an invitation to fast, we are opening the church sanctuary for in-person prayer every Thursday during Lent from 9:00am-5:00pm (beginning February 18th). This is a come-and-go opportunity where you will be invited to pray in a welcoming, quiet space on your own.
*We recognize that for some, fasting from food is not a physically or emotionally wise thing to do, so we encourage you to fast in a different way that is unique, yet sacrificial (i.e. turn off your cellphone, no television, etc.).
