So if you’re still thinking about what to get me for my 40th birthday, this would work.

Oh…how I miss book budgets & continuing education funds. Sigh…

“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 meditating on God’s holy Word.”

-Book of Common Prayer, p.265

This invitation is the doorway into Lent. Upon first hearing this invitation it is easy to think, “Well Lent is here again and these are the things I am supposed to do to get through Lent.” But what if it is not just about getting through Lent? Maybe the real question is, “How will Lent get through to me?”

We would love for you to join our Community for this Holy Lent…

As we Begin the Journey – Ash Wednesday Gathering, 6pm @ Spring Hill UMC

As we read & pray together – Lent Books will be available at tonight’s gathering and on the TC@SH site & The Element. You can also follow along with the daily readings/prayers by following us on Twitter.

As we help serve together with Blood:Water Mission through 40 Days of Water.

July & early August wreak havoc on church community rhythms, so the Church @ Spring Hill is reading and praying through the gospels together over the the next six weeks. You can join us at The-Element. There are posts five days a week. Some of the posts will be video, some questions, some guest thoughts, some meditations.

Our hope is that over the next 40 or so days that we as a community, no matter where we are, can be focused on and praying for the same things and will be unified and strengthened by this experience. So…you’re invited to join us on the journey. Please add your thoughts to the discussion.

Peace ~
