An Invitation: CHANGE for Lent

2/21/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
 February 17th was Ash Wednesday, marking the start of the holy season of Lent. The Board of Discipleship of our United Methodist Church has come up with a really interesting challenge for churches this year and Pastor Kelly is inviting us all to try this.

Follow this link to find calendar pages naming specific things you have in your home or life. You’re challenged to count up how many you have of each item, then set aside that many coins for the day. You can use whatever change you have on hand. When Easter arrives, we hope we’ll be able to gather again for worship. If so, please join us -- and bring along your joyful, jingling Easter offering!
