SEASON OF LENT
Suggested Lenten Practices
Bishop Wright's Annual Lenten Series
This 5-part series themed, Growing Up in Christ!, invites us to embrace spiritual maturity for the sake of our relationships, communities, and the world. St. Paul challenges us to “grow in every way more like Christ” (Ephesians 4).
Through small, intentional steps, like asking the Holy Spirit to guide us, aligning our lives with Jesus’ invitation to abundant life, and trusting in God’s faithfulness, we can grow in friendship with Christ and transform our lives and the world.
