The Adult Ministry team invite yous to participate in the Forty Days of Love, during the 40 days of Lent.

 

This is an experiment which calls for adding a daily discipline to our Lenten journey. This experiment is an encounter with the possibility of Christians caring for the neediest of God's children.

 

There will be a Forty Days of Love guide in the narthex for you to follow along the daily discipline. Each day, we are asked to give a few coins as a sacrifice for some of the things we take for granted and how people all over the world live in poverty and suffering, i.e.: give a nickel for every rug and carpet in your home, or give fifty cents for every television in your home. Participating in this can do much to open our eyes to the plight of people in other parts of the world, and to strengthen our commitment to  involve ourselves beyond the confines of our personal experience and enhance our spiritual journeys. There will be a special jar kept in the narthex into which you can deposit the accumulated moneys during Lent.

 

Everything collected will be designated for HIM Food Pantry, our local mission project for the hungry of Houston Heights, and to Haiti relief - feeding, clothing, healing, and giving shelter for neighbors far away.
