Coins for Lent

The season of Lent begins on February 18th with Ash Wednesday. During Lent, we are reminded to examine our lifestyles and ask, "What can we do for others?" Part of faith formation at any age is compassion and offering a serving heart to our neighbors. We need to demonstrate compassion to others now more than ever.
Lent is a good time to commit to giving money to a project that helps those in need. We are offering an opportunity for our families to support Harbor’s Food Ministry using the Coins for Lent Giving Calendar as a guide. Involve your children in the process and decide what coins you want to collect. You may want to
contribute a quarter for every item on the giving calendar. You may want to simply collect loose change and give whatever coins you have for each item.

Now make a container to collect the money. Use a plastic tub, jar, or a coin bank that you aren’t currently using in your home. Decorate it and place it where the entire family can see it (and contribute to it). I am sending a label to use to decorate your collection container.

Items on the daily guide will remind us of all we have and how little others may have. Each Sunday, pray as a family for the project and the people who will benefit from your gifts. Our giving begins on Ash Wednesday and concludes with Holy Saturday. During Lent, Sundays are for worship and praise to God and are reflected with a weekly day of prayer.
We will have supplies at church tomorrow!
Thank you in advance for participating!
