Lent: An Experiment in Less Becoming More
Lent can often feel as unfulfilling as a short-lived New Year’s resolution. So, rather than a solo exercise of will-power and good intentions, what if your journey through lent was leveraged faith alongside your family, friends, or community group?
Lent provides a unique 40-day window for Christians to re-sensitize their hearts SO THAT we might live into the promise of the resurrection!
So what if your lenten prayers had a shared fast that enabled you to also bring a lil life to others? That sounds like the beginning of a New Normal!
Here’s how it works: CHOOSE A FAST to interrupt your normal…
Fast from ordinary, typical purchases for 40 days.
Simplify weekday dinners to $3/person/dinner.
Gather & Sell “fasted” items sitting in closets, attic, & garage.
***Whatever fast you choose, keep a running tally of how much you save from typical spending or earn from selling.
Turn Your Fasting Into Feasting!
The 50-day period following Easter has historically been a great celebration of the resurrection of Christ and all that it means for us, culminating in the birth of His Church and its mission on Pentecost. Rather than move on from this eternal hope, leverage your savings in compassion, generosity, and bringing a little life to others
