Lenten Guide
/
The Education team would like to extend our Lenten Guide to the entire congregation/community this year. Our lenten guide is similar to an Advent wreath. You would light another candle each week and do the devotional and discussion questions. The guide starts on Sunday, March 6 and goes for 6 weeks to finish on Easter Sunday.
Each Sunday, as part of the Children’s Message, we will have a recording of lighting the candle and doing the devotional. We will then post discussion questions on our Families private Facebook page (please contact the education team if you’d like to be added to this page).
We thought this would be a great way for all of us to stay connected throughout the Lenten season.
The Lenten Guide is attached here. You could use any candles you have available to you. If you need candles or would like a print out of the Lenten guide, please contact the Education Team and we'd be happy to get them to you.
Please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any questions.
