CCC Lent Experience 1 | Page 4

Grace and peace CCC!

We want to personally invite you to a new experience for us as a spiritual family.

For the past several years we have practiced a week of consecration from Palm Sunday to Good Friday. We did this in remembrance of the suffering, death, and burial of our Lord Jesus Christ and to celebrate his victory on Resurrection Sunday. This was always a special week of spiritual renewal, encouraging one another, sharing the gospel and glorifying God.

But, can you sense that it’s time for more?

This year is the time, to go to a whole new level of applying our faith as individuals and as a community of believers. Our society is in an identity crisis with some of our very own neighbors feeling entitled yet depressed; arrogant yet searching for meaning. There is a great sense of ruthlessness, anxiety, and anger. The demands on our own lives seem overwhelming with calendars full of activities driven more by market forces, school and work rather than the rhythms of faith, hope and love. Now more than ever is the time to keep in step with the Spirit. It’s time to throw off every hindrance to the abundant life Christ promised.

We are excited about practicing our faith, experiencing spiritual growth and building community in a brand new way. Get ready for a time of spiritual renewal as we go to the next level in the application of our faith.

We hope you will join us.

Pastors A.R. & Karen Bernard
