FAITH FORMATION NEWS
The High School Gathering scheduled for the 25th has been moved to March 18th.
Lent is a wonderful time to dive deeper in family prayer time. Here is a guided prayer time for you and your family to surrender to God's will during this season.
Read Scripture: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me." - Luke 9:23
Pray: Oh Lord, I’ve already declared with my mouth that I am yours, and You are my Savior. But, as we enter the season of Lent, I feel like I need to confess to You. I struggle to take up my cross daily and follow You. I get distracted by comfort, my schedule, and, if I’m honest, my own desires and self-centeredness. But it’s not just me. It’s everyone in my home. Father, through the power of the Holy Spirit, please work in us so that we joyfully give our hearts and minds to You daily. Help us surrender our will and submit to Yours. Amen.
