LENT 2023

Considering Consumption

 

Responding to our call to live more simply with gratitude, love and contentment

As we journey through Lent this year, we invite you to join us as we reflect on our relationship and practises of consumption. Each week of Lent, we will provide a short video and questions and prompts for reflection. Join us as we explore our calling to consume in ways that demonstrate thriving relationships – with God, each other, creation and ourselves.

What is Lent?

Lent is the 40-day lead-up to Easter Sunday. It is a season of the Christian year where we intentionally prepare ourselves to celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus and seek ways to live more like Christ. In various forms, Lent has been practised for well over a millennium.  There are three traditional emphases: 

  • Fasting. Going without. Simplifying. Sacrificial living. This helps us focus on our greatest need for God.  

  • Prayer. Journeying with God through the difficult and dry seasons of life. 

  • Giving. Embracing gratitude and generosity as a way of life.   

Let’s enter this season of Lent reflectively, open to what God may invite us to.
