Journeying Through Lent With Seven Scriptures
With Jess BielmanThis course is designed to help participants engage bible texts that undergird the ideas and practices of Lent. Lent is a 40-day season of reflection, repentance, and preparation leading up to Easter, commemorating Jesus’ time of fasting in the wilderness and His ultimate sacrifice for humanity. It is a time for Christians to grow closer to God through prayer, fasting, and acts of charity, focusing on spiritual renewal and self-discipline. In this course we will focus on the spiritual renewal. No matter where you are in your journey, renewal is always invited through engaging the spirit with intentionality. I am excited to engage with participants so there will be a prompt and questions following each session.
