As we approach the Lenten season for 2025, we encourage each member to ponder this bold approach of Westminster Presbyterian Church.
Lent is a 40-day period beginning on Ash Wednesday, March 5, 2025. Tradition has often suggested that we ‘give up something’ for Lent.
The Westminster Hands on Mission Committee suggests all of us examine the Great Commandment that Jesus said: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your heart, your soul and your mind and the second commandment is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.”
• Consider a neighbor, a stranger, or someone who needs you beyond those whom you usually help and support.
• Talk within a group where you participate at Westminster. Is there an activity that reaches out to others you might assist or who are otherwise alone?
• Consider people who don’t know, how can you help?
• Hands on Mission serves 26 organizations – can you join in helping one you don’t know?
• Congregation Care serves many people in our congregation who are alone, can you help?
