LENT
The Christian season of Lent begins in Winter’s midst but ends in Springtime’s splendor. For such is the rhythm and pattern of life. Spiritually Lent is a season for casting off that which keeps us from God. The trees do not cast off their leaves just to remain barren. They do so, so new leaves and new growth can come. Thus, during Lent we immerse ourselves in the same process of casting off, but more importantly of engaging in those things that lead to new life – most especially new life in Christ.
Towards this end, we are offering Lenten Growth Groups in which you can involve yourself in growing spiritually. These groups will meet every week starting after Feb. 17th – Ash Wednesday – through Easter Week. Groups will consist of between 6 and 8 people who have joined the group because they too want to do something to deepen their faith.
The groups will spend their time reflecting and discussing the subject introduced by the
sermon the Sunday before their meeting. Sermons during this season are all under the general subject of “What if Christians Were Really Christians?” Messages will break this down into issues about loving others, witness, serving God, the use of money, true worship, forgiveness, etc. The group discussion will be guided by study questions which will be distributed to each person who enrolls.
