Lenten Activities

We live in a noisy world. Even when alone, apart from sound, we’re bombarded with texts, emails, and social media messages. Even when we turn the noise off, our inner dialogue can be deafening. This series is about discovering the gift of removing ourselves from the noise to rest in Jesus. During Lent, we’ll engage in some spiritual practices to help us silence the noise and amplify God, keeping in mind Richard Foster’s words that the spiritual disciplines are not the answer; they only lead us to the Answer

If you didn’t receive our Advent devotions but wish to, email [email protected] to sign up.

LENT SMALL GROUPS

FEB 26 – APRIL 4
Open to adults of all ages

Our Lenten small groups, based on Ruth Haley Barton’s “Sacred Rhythms: Spiritual Practices that Nourish Your Soul and Transform Your Life,” will explore the practices that spiritual seekers and growing disciples have used throughout history to grow closer to God. In a similar way, the disciplines of the spiritual life are the basic components of the rhythm of intimacy that feeds the soul, keeping Christians open and available to God’s surprising initiative in their lives. In this five or six week series, the facilitator will share a video and lead a discussion to help us turn off the noise and amplify God.

Please sign up for the day, time, and location that works best for you. You may sign up here or call the church office Monday-Thursday between 8am-5pm. Please sign up by Sunday, February 19.
