Join us in Lent

lent 2025 logo

We enter the church season of Lent together with the whole church. We are created for communion with God, to love one another, and to live in harmony with creation. Though many common Lenten practices rightly invite us to individual acts of “repentance, prayer and fasting, sacrificial giving and works of love.”

 

Lent is also a time for deepening of community. This year, we reflect on what it means to be in community with one another, with the world, with creation, and with God.

Our church is joining with other churches across the Montana Synod for a spiritual and physical journey this Lent. Together we will walk, run, bike, hike, paddle, ski, swim, or skate 6,574 miles, the distance from Great Falls to Jerusalem, so we can continue generously supporting congregations that are working to end hunger in their communities. Please join us in logging miles and helping to raise funds for the Synod Hunger Fund!
