I invite you, therefore, in the name of the Church to the observance of a holy Lent, by self-examination and repentance, by prayer fasting and self-denial and by reading and meditation on God’s holy Word.
Book of Common Prayer, p. 265
Lenten Traditions in a 2021 Sort of Way:
Holy Space at Home
Lent in a New Way: Join Lent Madness
Forty Days of Lenten Discipline–that’s a lot! This year we’re doing Lent in smaller pieces! Each week, you are invited to take on one of the traditional Lenten Disciplines. Try it for a week, and at the end of that week, add a symbol to your personal worship space. At the end of Lent, your home holy space will show where you’ve been.
Our five disciplines:
- Prayer
- Fasting
- Self-Denial
- Acts of Mercy
- Confession
Get the plan each Sunday on our Livestream.
