Lenten Reflections
Christian Formation Commission

Greetings!

Thank you for joining us in prayer and reflection during this season of Lent. We will travel through daily scripture, reflection and prayer.  Additional people have been joining us each day. Please feel free to forward these reflections to others. We invite you to explore the other resources of the season found at the bottom of the page as we continue the journey together.

Scripture

 

But I don't care what happens to me, as long as I finish the work that the Lord Jesus gave me to do.  And that work is to tell the good news about God's great kindness.

                                                  Acts 20: 24 (Contemporary English Version)
 
Reflection 
  

 

We are a church of hope. Peter has explained to the church leaders  of Ephesus and to us all that we should hope to accomplish. Yes, we will walk through some dark times, but we must remember whatever life in God gives us we must continue to proclaim through our actions the Good News of Christ Jesus so that our life will not be lived in vain.

 

Prayer
  

Dear Lord, Help me to spread the Good News of Jesus,

not by words alone, but by my thanksgiving, service and

love of others. For the sake of Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
