Forty Day Fast for Lent--Monday through Thursday every week neighbors come to Calvary to pick up bags of groceries to feed themselves and their families. Have you ever thought about the effort that takes physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually? Many of us wake up either already thinking about what we get to eat that day or not even thinking about food because we dont have to; we have it. During the 40 days of Lent I invite you to consider participating with me in a different kind of fast. You choose what your fast will look like but choose something that forces you to consciously think about what you eat. Perhaps only eat non-processed food, only eat meals and no snacks, dont eat out--be creative. During these 40 days open you mind and heart--enter with no expectations and no singular purpose; allow yourself to be open to the many things God may teach you. Every day I will post either a reflection, a prayer, or a possible activity. I encourage everyone who participates to also post about their experiences during this time. Although your personal fast is between you and God, as a community we can support one another, share our reflections and insights, and grow together as the body of Christ. If this looks interesting to you, let me know. It is a closed group, but those who would like to join and participate are welcome to do so. PM me :-)
