A Season of Preparation and Reflection

This year the 40 days of the Lenten season overlap with the 40 days of spiritual preparation the church has been invited to engage in as we get closer to World Conference. It's a wonderful opportunity to focus and draw our attention to the One we love and serve. 
 Here are a few suggestions for your journey… 
  1. Notice if there is a spiritual practice or prayer form you are drawn to as a way of reflecting daily on the meaning and invitation of Lent in your life. Suggestions include fasting, silence/centering prayer, and the prayer of examen. You can read about these practices below.

  2. Spiritual Preparation for 2019 World Conference: The Lenten journey can be both personal and communal. As we enter this season of discernment, members and friends of Community of Christ also prepare for pilgrimage to World Conference, seeking God’s wisdom and guidance as we gather as global community to make faithful decisions for the future. You can access the 40 Days of Spiritual Preparation here.

  3. Spend time with one of these guides for personal or group reflection throughout the Lenten Season:
    • “Invitation to Lent: A Spirituality of Resistance”

    • “Sacred Restraint: A Spiritual Companion for the Lenten Desert”

  4. Subscribe to the Daily Bread email for scripture, stories, practices, and other content focused on Lent and the journey to World Conference.
