lenten opportunities

We have a calendar of Lenten Service Opportunities and daily prompts you will find helpful in your observance of the season of Lent. For a downloadable Lenten Calendar with all the daily prompts and opportunities, please click on this link.

Every Sunday during Lent, we’re offering a no-contact Lenten Sunday service opportunity for the whole church. Each service opportunity will correspond with the healing focus for the week. It’s a great way to put healing for our community and for ourselves to practice. Contact Cortney Babajtis (cortneypaige84@gmail.com) for more information about any of the service opportunities listed below.
