A WORD FROM OUR PASTOR Holy Consecration is a 40-day period (excluding Sundays) of prayer and fasting that begins on Ash Wednesday, March 2nd, and ends on Thursday, April 14, 2022.

This is a time for reflection on the spiritual disciplines of obedience, self-examination, meditation on the Word of God, and self-denial that we might draw closer to the Lord. During this season, each member is asked to commit to the following: ♦ Each day engage in the following three actions 1. Prayer Focus

2. Read Scripture

3. Thematic Meditation

♦ Choose one thing to abstain from throughout the Lenten Season ♦ Fast solid foods on Wednesdays 6am-6pm (Please consult your physician before making any major dietary changes) ♦ Join our weekly prayer call

♦ Join us in experiencing the 40 Days of Divine Pursuits (See Itinerary) It is my fervent prayer that this season of consecration will lead us to deeper depths and higher heights in the Lord! Please email your individual prayer request to: [email protected]

DAILY ITINERARY Join us for the 40 Days of Divine Pursuits. We will focus on drawing closer to God through this period of Holy Consecration. Take a moment each day to meditate, read scripture and pray according to the day’s focus. Week 1: Pursuing Forgiveness • •
