The Season of Lent

One of the simplest ways to engage in prayer during Lent is through praying the Daily Office. Our prayerbook offers a daily morning and evening prayer liturgy saturated in Holy Scriptures; a very straightforward discipline to start in this season of penitence.
 

If you need help learning how to pray morning and evening prayer, please check out the Daily Office 2019 app (or the webpage), and use the Daily Office Podcast to follow along.

This Lent, we encourage everyone to fast from all food on Fridays (if physically able) beginning Thursdays after dinner and the breaking fast with dinner on Fridays. If you already do this, we would encourage you to join in on Wednesdays as well.

If you have questions about the why and how of fasting, please read this article for more information.

This Lent, Christ Church is partnering with the Salem Pregnancy Center in the Baby Bottle Campaign. This is one way we as a church can contribute to those in need (sometimes called “Almsgiving”) during this Lenten season. Though the Baby Bottle Campaign typically takes place between Mother’s and Father’s Days, we are participating in this starting Ash Wednesday, stretching until the Second Sunday of Easter.
