Lent is forty days of reflection on the spiritual disciplines. It’s a time when we focus on the basic things we are called to do as Christians – to worship God, to serve our neighbors, to pray for one another, to study scripture, and to love all of God’s children.
These disciplines are vital to our spiritual lives together. And “together” is the key word! The Bible, the witness of the early Church, and our Methodist tradition makes it clear: we are not meant to struggle through life alone. We live in community. We rely on each other, hold each other accountable, encourage each other, and pick each other up when we stumble.
This year, we come into Lent under the theme of “Devoted Together.” Worship, service, prayer, scripture study, and love: these are ways we join together as a community of faith, sharing the heart of Christ as one body. Devoted Together!
We are collecting meal kits and snack sacks to distribute to the kids and families at Lawson Early Childhood Center (McKinney ISD’s Head Start and pre-k) and La Tiendita (serves the families near Webb Elementary). Each week, we will deliver family meal kits and a snack sacks for the kids for these partners to distribute.
Drop off items at the table in the hall.
