Journey through Lent with Lenten Micro Practices

By | A Lenten Journey, Community, Family Ministry | No Comments

As we prepare for the resurrection of Jesus during this Lenten season, mark this time as different through your actions using these Lenten Micro Practices. In this booklet, you will find a new practice to guide you each day on your journey. The Lenten practices rotate between the 3 pillars of Lent: praying, fasting, and almsgiving. Some practices can be done on the spot, some throughout the day, and others will take some time and/or preparation. At the end of the 40 days of Lent, you will have made room in your heart and in your lives for Christ’s resurrection. There are 2 forms of the Lenten Micro Practices: one for families with children, and another for individuals/families without younger children. You may download and print your booklets at home by clicking on the available links.
