Lenten Resources
During Lent, we often focus solely on “getting rid” of something that draws us away from God or spending additional time in confession of sin and contemplating the cross—both are good practices and are things that we need to consider as we walk with Jesus toward the cross. In addition, trying new (or re-trying familiar) spiritual practices during this season can provide new ways to interact with God. Such experiments can grow into healthy spiritual habits.

40 Weeks of Prayer
When a body of believers prays together, there is a spirit like no other. Walls fall and barriers crumble … creativity blooms ... relationships grow and strengthen ... faith is fortified ... joy surges and vision is renewed.
In times of transition, prayers for vision, wisdom and strength are important. Accordingly, the Discipleship Council invites our church family to covenant together for 40 weeks of prayer—from August 4, 2024 to May 4, 2025—in our Sunday School classes and other small groups.
Prayer guides will be provided to group leaders and published at the bottom of the Signal prayer list. We invite you to join us in unified prayer—in discipleship groups, with prayer groups you form on your own, with your family or alone—for the next 40 weeks.
