Creating Space for God
Trying on Spiritual Practices in Lent

Invitation to the church family (children and youth included)
We invite you to join us in a daily Lenten journey. As a whole church (adults, youth and children) we are invited to focus on a specific spiritual practice each week that helps us focus on what matters most and prepares us for the wonder and transformation resurrection brings.
 
Each week of Lent there will be a theme, a spiritual practice that we will learn together.  Then, connecting with the week's theme, you will receive a daily email containing a simple, specific action to do that day as well as a short, focused prayer.

The touchstone of our communal Lenten path is the Sunday School class taught by Bill Hoff. Here we will map the journey each week. The class will explore the same weekly spiritual practices listed below. (The Sunday School class will not begin until March 12.)
