LENTEN STUDY WITH MODERATOR GARY PATTISON
You are invited to join an online Lenten Study based on the new United Church Lenten book, Longing for Home.
Like the book, the online study will look at themes of displacement and uprootedness, and go further to explore ways food, culture, and faith, can help ground us in God.
This Facebook-based Lenten study will feature video reflections on the lectionary with Moderator Gary Paterson and hosted conversations with a variety of United Church leaders.
The video reflections and other resources will also be available to download for offline “face-to-face” small group discussions. Join the Longing for Home Facebook group here!
40 ACTS Lenten Activity
Sylvia van der Weg asked that the 40 Acts web site be posted on Unity United Church web site.
Traditionally, Lent has been viewed as a season of giving up. A time to sacrifice. 40acts was envisioned to take that one step further. Just as Jesus surrendered his life to atone for our sin, we give up in order to put others first. But in order to bless others, we must plan ahead. So, whether you have 5, 10 or 60 spare minutes, start now. CLICK
