WEDNESDAY MARCH 2 — THURSDAY APRIL 14

It’s really easy to celebrate Easter as a holiday, in passing. The chocolate eggs, the bunnies, the family gatherings, and church services all play a special part in this event on the Christian calendar.

But what if, this year, we didn’t just treat it like another event? What if, as a community, we prepared our hearts with 40 days of Deeper Devotion in the lead up?

A season of Lent has long been observed by followers of Christ and this year, we are going to join together in unity with believers around the world and focus on Jesus, His death and resurrection. Our hope is that we would see our church walk into Easter weekend with a renewed sense of spiritual health, a hunger for the Word of God, closer relationships with one another, and a deeper awe for what was accomplished on that hill in Calvary, thousands of years ago.

40 Days of Deeper Devotion is essentially a time to fast and pray. We invite you to remove something from your life that will help you to focus on Jesus — by removing a distraction we can fix our eyes more fully on Him. Or perhaps instead you’d like to add something — something that will draw you closer to the heart of God. There need be no sense of religious obligation, simply choose something that works for you, anything that will draw you in to deeper place with Him.
