LENT SEASON
Lent, which is the 40 days leading to Easter, is a season traditionally used to focus attention toward repentance and reflection on our mortality, sin, brokenness, and the ultimate need for a Savior. Much like Advent, Lent focuses attention on the work of Christ. To help us use the season well, consider participating in two ways:
Weekly Prayer Gathering: Every Sunday through Lent we will have a weekly prayer gathering before service. This gathering will include guided prayer led by several leaders. The gathering will occur on Sunday mornings from 10:00-10:20 am in the prayer room at the worship space If you have any questions, email eastharlem@redeemer.com
​
Lent Devotional: Check out this video by Kathy Keller and sign up for a free daily Lent devotional. Each day you will be sent a short reflection to assist your engagement with this season.
New Series: For the Lent season, we will start a new series called "The Formative Power of Lament - Lament in the Psalms.” For more on this series, check out www.reh.nyc/currentseries
Ash Wednesday Service: We will be joining a local church partner, Metro Hope, for an Ash Wednesday service. Join us! We will meet for a brief service at 6:30pm at the REH Worship Space.
Good Friday Service: We are glad to again join our East Harlem church partners again for a joint Good Friday service. This service will take place on March 29th at 7pm at Church of the Resurrection (E. 101 St.). We hope you’re able to join us.
Easter Service: Join us for our Easter Celebration service on Sunday, March 31. We will have a day of special music, poetry, and an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids immediately following the service. Bring your family, friends, and neighbors!
Lent Article: A few years ago Angela Adour, who oversees our pastoral care, was asked to write a Lenten article for Redeemer churches and ministries. We hope you find it helpful. You can read it here.
