Resources for Lent
Carving Our Character: Lenten Soup Suppers
Thomas Aquinas called humility the “Queen of the virtues.” More than any other season of the Church year, Lent invites us to pay attention to our character—our inner self of thought, feeling, and will. In this 5-week series, we will explore how humility, repentance, and suffering are necessary and fruitful parts of following Jesus.
5 Wednesdays February 25 - March 25, 6pm - 8pm, Community Rooms (enter through 14th St. doors); simple soup supper provided.
Every day—sometimes every moment—something is demanded of us, whether responding to emails, preparing a meal, or the next activity with family and friends. We are hurried beyond what is healthy and human.
Guided by John Mark Comer’s best selling book, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, join with others from Calvary to learn practices that lead to less hurry in our lives.
Sundays, 10:45am-11:45am, starting March 22

Prayer and Fasting Together
Fasting is so much more than giving up chocolate for Lent. Fasting can be a life-giving spiritual practice whereby we refocus time and energy towards God by choosing to go without a regular activity or source of nourishment. Most commonly we think of fasting from food, but you may choose to fast from social media, television, or alcohol. Fasting is most commonly paired with prayer; dropping the one to provide time and focus for the other.
