Top 6 Ways to Prepare for Your Lenten Journey

1. Start the journey in prayer. Of what do you need more? Less?
What needs to be resurrected in you?
2. Consider creating an altar in your home or work with one or more Lenten
symbols (i.e. sand; journey, bowl of water; baptism, cross; sacrifice)
3. Attend Ash Wednesday Worship on Feb. 10 at 6:30. Come at 5pm for the
pancakes and support the Haiti Clean Water Team.
4. Worship: Commit to being in worship during
Lent every Sunday as we Journey to Life:
Walking in the Footsteps of Jesus, which is
the new series starting Feb. 14. (Using The
Way: Walking in the Footsteps of Jesus)
5. Pick up your free Lenten Devotional book
based on the new series. Visit the book
store table in the Connector.
6. Journey in group: Sign up for a shortterm group using the Growth Group Guide.
Groups meet on various days, not just Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Preparing for Lent: A Prayer

Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation,

for it is from your goodness that we have this day
to celebrate on the threshold of the Season of Lent.
Prepare us for tomorrow.
Tasting the fullness of what we have today,
let us experience some hunger tomorrow.
May our fasting make us more alert
and may it heighten our consciousness
so that we might be ready to hear your Word
and respond to your call.
In the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.
