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!

What a great week we had at Camp Firelight learning how to trust God! Thank you to all of our volunteers who made it possible and to everyone who came to see the performance tonight.

Night Four of VBS, we learned about the time Jesus was on a boat during a bad storm. He was sleeping right through it! We made pillows tonight to help us remember that we should always trust God. We look forward to seeing you at tomorrow night’s program at 7:10 to show you all we have learned!

Tonight was night three of Camp Firelight! We talked about how Jesus went to the temple as a child and listened to the elders who shared knowledge and wisdom. We also talked about how even though he was separated from his parents, Jesus wasn’t scared, he trusted God!

Tonight we learned about Naomi and Ruth setting out on a journey. We made a neat campfire suncatcher and had lots of fun! You can help us learn our Camp Callout: “Whenever I’m afraid, I put my trust in you.” Psalm 56:3

What a wonderful first night of VBS! We learned about Jacob and how he had to sleep using a rock as a pillow. We made prayer journals and did some science. Ask your little ones what they learned tonight!
