Lent: Living our Baptism

2/21/2020

 
​Traditionally, Lent is a time of intense preparation for those who will be baptized at Easter. Candidates take a close look at scripture, faith, service, and generosity as they anticipate their new life in Christ.

This Lent, we will dive into the waters of baptism as we remember who we are as God’s covenant people and as we explore the baptismal promises that we make when we Affirm our Baptism:

At each of our Midweek Worship Services, we will consider these promises. Furthermore, throughout Lent, there will be ways that you can put these promises into practice. Come Easter morning, we will begin worship by Affirming our Baptism. As we celebrate all that Christ has done for us through his life, death, and resurrection, we will promise to continue in the covenant God made first with us when we were baptized. Dive in with us this Lent!

Baptismal Promise & Practice
​

Live among God’s faithful people
  • Join us on Wednesday evenings throughout Lent as we live in community, eating & worshiping together.
Hear the word of God and share in the Lord’s Supper
  • Worship with us on Wednesday nights when we reflect each week on a different baptismal promise.
  • Worship with us on Thursdays and Sundays as we think about who we are as God’s covenant people & share Holy Communion.
  • Join others in reading through the New Testament in the 40 Days of Lent. A reading plan will be provided.
Proclaim the good news of God in Christ through word and deed
  • Wear a cross (provided by Grace thanks to a Thrivent Grant). When someone comments on it, give the cross away. See what conversations will follow. Then pick up a new cross at church and repeat.
Serve all people, following the example of Jesus
  • Help us fill and pack “Blessing Bags” to be distributed to the homeless. A different item will be lifted up each week for you to donate.
Strive for justice and peace in all the earth
  • What does the Bible say about God’s sense of justice? Dive in at Midweek Worship on March 25.
