Preparing for Lent
Lenten Devotionals:
Sign up to write a reflection for this year's devotional!
This year for the community Lenten Devotional, we are walking through the holy book of Psalms. If you (individually or in a group) would like to contribute to this collection of prayerful reflections, please read these directions carefully:
-
Please find the Sign Up Genius for this event to sign up for the date you would like to contribute to.
-
You will notice that each date has a choice of 3-4 Psalms. Please choose ONE of these Psalms to write on, and only submit ONE writing per date.
-
Please stick to 150 words per submission.
-
The deadline for submissions is February 5, 2023. Please submit your WORD documents to evelynarcher-taminger@burkeumc.org. Thank you for contributing to this wonderful, prayerful ministry of the church!"
Holy Week Stained Glass Project:
We will be creating hand painted "stained glass" stations of the cross, on the windows by the front doors! We will be inviting members of the community to decorate each of the 12 panels (for the 12 stations) to represent the journey of Jesus's atonement. The windows will allow folks to enjoy the windows from the inside, and drive around the circle and enjoy from the outside if they are not yet comfortable coming in the building. This will also allow members of the outer community (like folks picking up from the co-op, dropping off donations, or just walking by) to enjoy the art as well.
Lenten Worship Opportunities:
Join us as we once again gather together for a Strove Tuesday celebration. As we prepare ourselves for the season of Lent, join us for an evening of fellowship, pancakes, fun and creative toppings.
