Lent 2019
Lent is a season of forty days, not counting Sundays, which begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday.
During this time Christians often sacrifice something in our lives and replace it with extra time in fellowship with God preparing ourselves to celebrate Easter.
Your fellow church members have written some devotionals for each day to help get your extra time with God started. The focus of this year’s Lent readings are the spiritual disciplines of giving, praying and fasting. Matthew 6:1-19 says when you give…..when you pray….when you fast……. Ecclesiastes 4:12 says; A threefold cord is not quickly broken. Giving, Praying and Fasting used together in the life of a Christian makes a strong powerful connection to God. Enjoy your extra time with God!

GOD IS GOOD.
If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray……..
2 Chronicles 7:14
God has blessed me in so many ways. He is my rock and strength that I cling to daily. My prayer life has developed in such a way that God has shown me His mercy and grace. My connection to Him has always given me security and assurance. It goes without saying I will never be able to give back to Him what He has to me. It gives me joy in being able to serve Him in helping others. I am blessed by Him in being active in His church. I am so thankful that He, my church and others give me so many opportunities to give back to Him in the way He has been so bountiful to me.
