Lent 2020

#Lent2020 Look + Listen

LOOK: a new adventure is about to begin! Our journey through Lent begins this week. See below for all the don't-miss details of this special season in our church year. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday (Feb 25, 2020) and ends on Easter (April 12, 2020)

Sunday, Feb 23 LOOK: your child's Lenten Devotional is here! Kids in Sunday School classes will receive their own copy of "Look to the Lord" for their Lenten reading. Use the 3D glasses to read the Bible verses and poems. Enjoy this together, as a family, over these 40 days of Lent!

also Sunday, Feb 23 LOOK: it's Mrs. Lenahan! Cherie Lenahan will be visiting our Sunday School classes on Feb. 23. She will introduce the kids to a Monarch Waystation. She has created one at the Wittel Farm, and she'll be helping create one on St. Paul's land this summer too! Don't miss this Sunday!

Wednesday, Feb 25 Ash Wednesday worship services are at: 7:00am (spoken word only) 11:00am 7:00pm Children are invited to receive a cross of ashes on their foreheads - a reminder that we will return to dust one day and be united in Christ's death as He promised.

Sundays in Lent

Look: a Butterfly! Each Sunday in March, Deacon Emily will visit the Sunday School classes with a website live video so that the kids can LOOK at the migration of monarchs heading North. It's a real sight to see! We're excited to LOOK at how far they come during March! www.journeynorth.org. Check it out at home!

Look: a Butterfly to buy?! During Sunday School each week of March, the kids will take a few minutes to create a Butterfly Craft. Each week will be a different creation. And each week, these creations will be put away until Easter. On Easter, these butterflies will be displayed in the Narthex. They'll be available for purchasing by leaving a donation to the new Monarch Waystation coming to St. Paul's land this Spring! Your kids will have lots of fun with these crafts! And you can buy the butterflies for yourself or for others!

Wednesdays in Lent

Look: a meal for me?! On Wednesdays in Lent, we will have dinner together! Kid-friendly and prepared by fellow church-members. 6:00pm. We will eat and worship together. Worship will include a special skit based on a Biblical Character and conversation around the tables that kids can join! We'll wrap-up by 7:15pm. Come....Listen....Look!
