Preview of Lenten Activities

Everyday we make personal, communal, and national choices that affect the environment and ecological diversity of our world. Nearly every climate scientist believes humans are causing climate change. This Lent you will be invited to post on the Christian Social Action Ministry bulletin board actions or practices that negatively impact the environment that you plan to give up for Lent and actions or practices that positively impact the environment that you plan to take up for Lent. In tandem with these exercises, Wesley will offer opportunities to gather for lentils and conversation about the environment and our impact upon it. More information about this study, “Lenten Lentils”, will be provided as Lent approaches.

  1. An idea for Lenten fasting being promoted by British Anglicans is to give up use of one's mp3 player or mobile phone during Lent.
