Lent is a 40 day season of preparation for the resurrection of Jesus. We mark this time as different through our actions. The days are counted from Ash Wednesday through the Saturday before Easter. Sundays are not counted in Lent’s 40 days.
Beginning Ash Wednesday, you’ll find a Lenten Micropractice posted each day on our Facebook page to help guide you on your journey. These small spiritual practices can be done on the spot, some during the day, and others will take some time and/or preparation.
One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS) is one of the 5-for-5 mission offerings of the United Church of Christ.
OGHS connects us to disaster relief, refugee assistance, and development efforts around the globe. When disasters strike, or when individuals are displaced due to violence or poverty, OGHS ensures immediate response and ongoing recovery.
This campaign is an invitation to consider how we want to be treated, and how we treat others, even those with whom we disagree. The Golden Rule—“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”—is a call to treat others with the same kindness we would want to receive in return. What’s possible when our community leans into kindness? Join us as we come together to find out! Let’s cast a “vote” for kindness, one small act at a time. #DoUntoOthers
