Lent begins next week on February 17 with Ash Wednesday. Lent is my favorite time of the church year. I like the Lent Church Services on Wednesday after school. This year Zion will only have a 3:30 service with masked required it will also be lived streamed if you want to watch at home. During Lent I try to recommit myself to personal devotions and prayer. This is a time to focus on Jesus and His great love for us. Jesus gave His life so that I can live.

For it is by GRACE you have been saved through faith and this is not from yourselves it is a gift of God, not a result of works so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

There is nothing I can do to gain forgiveness and eternal life it is God's gift through Jesus! So instead of giving something up for Lent try doing the opposite and adding something ... maybe commit to Wednesday night church, do personal devotions, do family devotions, or make weekend worship a priority in your family. I know your faith life will be strengthened.

LENT WORSHIP CENTERS: Tuesday we will be making a worship center for your home to help you with Lent Devotions. This will come home on Tuesday with a Devotion Booklet. The cross can be used like an advent wreath, but you light all candles on the first week and light one less each week as we move closer to Good Friday. Lent begins on Wednesday so you will light the candles and light one less on Wednesdays. I hope this helps your family focus your thoughts to Christ this Lent. Thank you to my husband for cutting out the crosses for us.

With this week being short made even shorter by the snow day we will continue working on some concepts from this week next week.

Enjoy your longer weekend,

Amy
