“Return to the Lord…” Joel 2:12-13
Lent is a time to draw closer to God. It’s not just about giving up something; instead, try adding something. Act. Here are some examples:
PRAY … daily
… for others … for your church
… set aside a special time each day
READ SCRIPTURE … daily
… read 1 or 2 chapters of the Bible
… read Matthew
… participate in a Bible Study group
READ SPIRITUALLY … daily devotional guides/books
… borrow from our church library (upstairs)
… share Christian books with friends
WORSHIP … every Sunday … at heart daily
… Holy Week special services
… partake of the Lord’s Supper
GIVE SACRIFICIALLY … every Sunday
… special missions offerings
… an additional gift to the church
… volunteer your time to help someone
Make Lent a special season of spiritual renewal. Commit yourself and your family to attending worship regularly and to bringing your Bible.
