Church’s Lent Series

During the church's Lent series, the St. Paul United Methodist Church welcomed the public to contribute their life experiences.

St. Paul United Methodist Church urged the public to tell us about different places in their lives where they have sensed God, places where they have been in awe of people or of God, and places where we fear or dread in a Facebook post on Monday, Feb. 21.

Lent is sometimes defined as a trip, according to the church's post. "God bless your Lenten journey!" it said.

The church claims that members of the congregation write "Bless now, O God, the journey that all your people make" in their newsletters and sing "Bless now, O God, the journey that all your people make."

The Transfiguration brings Jesus from the mountain to the desert temptation, then to Jerusalem, the cross, and the resurrection, according to the book.

According to the post, they hope that the Lenten journey will mirror Jesus and enable them to adapt their lives to Christ's life, death, and resurrection.

When asked what happens if Lent isn't just about going somewhere? What if Lent isn't just about going somewhere?  What if Lent is also about being in one place for a certain amount of time? The  St. Paul United Methodist Church answered that the focus for Lent this year will be on places.

They ask if they can tell the congregation more about some of their experiences.

The first episode of this series is set to air on March 6, according to the church.
