Lenten Devotionals:
Sign up to receive our daily Lenten Devotional to your inbox each morning during Lent!
Download the full Lenten Devotional below if you'd rather access our online version or print at home. You can also pick up a printed version at the Connection Center outside of the Sanctuary at the church.
Lenten Opportunities:
Sign up for our Stained Glass Stations of the Cross Project!
​
We are painting the Stations of the Cross again on the beautiful front windows of BUMC! Please review the available slots and sign up using this link. Individuals, families, or groups may sign up for one or more windows.
Rev Ev will be sending an email to everyone who signed up with directions on how to paint the windows, and details about the timeline for completing them this year. The time period we are painting them is March 10-March 17, so that they will be complete and viewable from March 17- Easter Sunday (March 31). Please begin considering which date and time during that week you will be available to paint your window.
Weekly Lenten Communion Services: Wednesdays at 11:30 am
We will share in Holy Communion each Wednesday between February 21-March 27 in the Burke United Methodist Church Sanctuary. All are welcome to join us.
Faithful Families: Lenten Resource for Families
We have books available for families to journey through Lent and Easter together this year. You can pick one up at the church beginning on Sunday, February 18. Reach out to Katie Glick with any questions!
