Lenten Mission Focus 2021
Share your experiences of the 2021 Lent Mission projects! Email holly@perdidobay.church to share how you have seen God work through the efforts of PBUMC this Lenten season.
You are invited to take part in a special observance of the season of Lent. Lent is observed for the 40 days leading up to Easter, as Jesus fasted in the desert for 40 days. This time is marked by denial of the flesh and sacrificing to honor Christ. As a church, we will do this by making a purposeful effort to "build up" our community through many forms of encouragement (you will find the specifics below). These are acts of service that can be done on your own, though alongside others from PBUMC who will be doing the same. With all of our efforts together, we can make a big impact in our community through the love of Jesus Christ.

Inspire others to join in! Use the hashtag #BuildingUpPerdido when you post about the Lenten Service Project on Social Media.
