Reflect and Renew
A Season of Reflection
As we embark on this Lenten journey, we invite you to take a moment to consider what you truly need. Whether it’s a moment of peace, a helping hand, or the courage to reach out, remember that these needs are shared by those around you. Together, we can create a community where everyone is supported and cared for.
Our shared journey through Lent is an opportunity to connect deeply with one another and with God. By acknowledging our own needs and the needs of our neighbors, we foster a spirit of compassion and unity. Let us walk this path together, embracing the call to serve and uplift each other in love and faith.
Weekly Lenten Themes
Join us each Sunday during Lent as we explore meaningful themes that resonate with our spiritual journey. Each week, we delve into a new aspect of our faith, inviting reflection and action within our community. These themes guide us in understanding our shared needs and how we can support one another through love and service.
First Sunday of Lent
Embracing Vulnerability
On the first Sunday of Lent, we introduce our new ministry dedicated to providing pre-made, frozen meals. This initiative aims to support individuals and families facing unexpected challenges, offering nourishment and comfort when it’s needed most. Our community comes together to prepare and distribute these meals, embodying the spirit of compassion and care.
Second Sunday of Lent
Honoring the Need for Rest
Baby Pantry Donation Drive
This Sunday, we focus on our baby pantry donation drive, collecting essential items such as diapers, baby wash, clothing, and specially needed diaper bags. By contributing to this cause, we help ensure that families in our community have the resources they need to care for their little ones, fostering a nurturing environment for growth and rest.
Get Involved
We invite you to participate in these initiatives, whether through donations, volunteering, or spreading the word. Together, we can make a significant impact, reflecting God’s light through acts of love and service.
Third Sunday: Seeking an Advocate
This Lenten season, we invite you to participate in our card ministry, a heartfelt initiative designed to remind us all that no one should walk through life alone. Join us in writing and sending messages of love and support to those who may need a reminder of their worth and the community that surrounds them. Each card is a beacon of hope, a tangible expression of care, and a testament to the power of simple gestures in lifting spirits and fostering connections.
Fourth Sunday: Embracing Change
On this Sunday, we call upon our community to contribute to a ‘noisy offering’ for Sylvia’s Place, an organization dedicated to preventing domestic violence. Your small change can make a big difference, demonstrating how collective efforts can ignite significant transformations. By pooling our resources, we not only support a crucial cause but also embody the spirit of change and solidarity that defines our journey through Lent.
Fifth Sunday: Celebrating Beauty
As we approach the culmination of our Lenten journey, we invite you to donate everyday personal care items to our local pantry, ensuring that everyone in our community can experience the dignity of self-care. This Sunday also marks a special celebration of our children’s first ‘official’ communion on Maundy Thursday, a moment of beauty and renewal that reflects the grace and growth we witness in our shared faith journey. Join us in honoring these milestones with generosity and joy.
