What is Lent?
​For years Christians have pondered the coming of Jesus’ passion and resurrection. The forty days of Lent have served as reminders of Noah’s forty days on the water, of the Israelites’ forty years of wandering in the wilderness, and of Jesus’ forty days of fasting and temptation in the wilderness. 
Lent has been a time to consider the ways in which we separate ourselves from God and from one another. You are invited, in the name of Christ, to observe a holy Lent by self-examination, by prayer, by study, and by meditating on God’s word.

What is Ash Wednesday?
​The Lenten season begins with Ash Wednesday, an ancient holy day in the Christian calendar. In scripture, ashes signify grief, sin, and human mortality as well as joy, forgiveness, and victory over death. Christians often wear a smudge of ashes on the first day of Lent to symbolize repentance.

The Center for Living Water
Each week this original song, “From No Way” will be shared as a contemplative practice, followed by a weekly question for continued reflection on the Lenten journey. As a participant in this video, you are adding your voice to our growing community who “seeks a way out of no way.” This song was co-written by Daniel Harmon and Jenny Jackson, and will be a primary guide for Lent.

Many who found the “Light of Christ” have lost their way because they placed their faith in church doctrine or a religious leader and not Jesus Christ. Maybe it is time for you to consider something different?
Community of Christ will help you grow spiritually, discover your purpose, and equip you to be part of Christ’s mission of compassion, justice, and peace. 

We do not proselytize anyone in an effort to change their faith. We do, however, invite all who are seeking to, come and see what God can do in their lives.  We invite you to experience the peace and meaning that fellowship in Community of Christ can bring to your life.
