Today, Christians strive to "give up" something during Lent in the categories of almsgiving, prayer, and fasting.
To reflect on Lent this year, we’d like to send you an email each day for 25 days beginning March 1. Each email will contain a challenge to help you grow closer to Christ this Lent, in preparation for Easter. Perhaps you’ll choose to take one of these challenges and commit to it every day until Easter! Here's an example of what you will receive:
"Where is there excess in your life?
Traditionally, Lent is a time for simplicity. It is a time to take an inventory of your life. Where is there excess in your life? Is this excess taking you away from the one thing that matters the most, to be a son/daughter of Christ?
📣Today’s challenge: Walk around your house with a bag and fill it with things you can donate to the needy. Some ideas: a sweater you no longer wear, an extra pair of socks, books that haven’t been cracked open in awhile, extra food items to the local shelter."
