When God’s People PrayLooking Ahead to Lent: FAQ’s

What is Lent? Lent is a time of repentance and preparation set aside on the church calendar to prepare our hearts for Easter. Beginning on Ash Wednesday, Lent is often associated with giving up or sacrificing something from our daily lives.

What are the ways I can help make theLenten study a success? Participate! Signup early, open your home to host a group, or offer to facilitate a group (this is the easiest study to lead that we’ve ever done, and advance training will be provided.)

Are there special worship opportunities during Lent? Plan to attend special services on Ash Wednesday (2/25), Maundy Thursday (4/9) and Good Friday (4/10). They are each uniquely planned to enhance your understanding and participation in the season of Lent.

How does Liberty United Methodist celebrate Lent? At LUMC, you’re invited to add something to your spiritual life each Lent by participating in a churchwide small group study.

What is the study for Lent this year? We’ll be meeting in small groups at church and in people’s homes for a six-week study of Jim Cymbala’s, When God’s People Pray. Groups will begin meeting the first week of March. Talk with your friends about forming a small group (10-12 people is ideal).

Can You Help Me Find a Small Group to Join? Absolutely! You’ll have opportunities all throughout February to join groups forming in people’s homes. There are also two large group meeting times scheduled at the church for Monday and Wednesday evenings. Childcare will be provided for groups meeting at the church.
