Week 6 of Lent:
Using the Season of Renewal Calendar, focus on leaning into your faith as a way to be closer to God this week.
Being in prayer is a way to build faith. The disciples struggled with how to pray and what to say. Jesus taught them to say the Lord's Prayer.
Read Luke 11:2-4 and Matthew 6:9-13.
The Lord's Prayer is a prayer that models different aspects of faith and different ways to pray; including praising God, thinking of others, asking for God to meet your needs, seeking guidance from God, seeking forgiveness from God, trusting God will provide, being guided in grace, having faith, seek a community, believing God will meet our needs.
Reach out and pray for somebody.
Emulate the love of God through a prayer.
Search for guidance from God in your prayer.
Teach somebody else about prayer.

Mission: For Lent St. Paul's will support the Neighborhood Resilience Project. Children are encouraged to donate small teddybears that will be given to children who are experiencing trauma. Children are encouraged to make tags with special messages to attach to the bears for the children who will receive the bears. If you are able to donate a bear it can be dropped off at the church anytime during Lent. Please remember to keep the bears small, able to fit in a lunch bag.
Keep it Simple
