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:

RESOURCES

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 Prayer: Our Director of Community Life, Davey Fernandez, recently wrote a Lenten prayer. The prayer is a helpful tool for orienting ourselves toward repentance and faith.
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.
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.

NEW SERIES:

New Series: While much of Mark’s Gospel is fast-paced, Mark slows way down for the passion narrative of Christ. This literary approach compels us to consider the significance of the final days of Jesus. In this Lent series, we will consider the final days of Jesus and how his suffering informs our own.For more on this series, check out www.reh.nyc/currentseries
