6 WEEK LENTEN DEVOTIONAL GROUP
Wednesdays 12 & 6pm @ Church
Join Rev. Josh for a 6-week Lenten devotional study from March 12th to April 16th at either noon or 6 PM, in person at the church or online (hybrid format). This study will coincide with our Sunday morning sermon series, The Wilderness.
Lent begins in the wilderness. The Spirit leads Jesus into the wild, where he confronts temptation, struggle, and solitude. Yet, through fasting, resisting, and wandering, he is shaped for ministry. Likewise, Lent invites us to surrender to the Spirit’s leading, embracing the wilderness as both sacred and unsettling.
You are encouraged to engage with the devotional readings at your own pace. A PDF of the devotional book is available for download here, or you can pick up a printed copy in the narthex.
Sign up today by emailing church@boisefirstucc.org.
