Lent at Epiphany

An online ministry from Forward Movement, you are invited to journey through Lent by voting for your favorite saint each day. As the weeks roll deeper into the season, the number of saints decrease as we all wonder who will win the golden halo this year!

“Our Lenten materials will focus on the themes presented in the book “The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World” by Robin Wall Kimmerer. Each week you’ll have a theme for reflection, gratitude, engagement, and self-care that helps ground your Lenten journey on giving thanks and giving back.”

This Lent, “let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” (Hebrews 10:24-25)

Lent is a time that we fast in order to prepare for Easter and commemorate the forty days that Jesus fasted in the desert. This year, you might consider a less traditional “fast for the earth” that involves individual acts that care for God’s creation. See the calendar below from Green Anglicans for ideas.
