Midweek Update: March 12, 2025
We have an Instagram! And what better way to launch it than during the Lent Photo-a-Day Challenge. Be sure to follow our account here. Each day you will post a photo inspired by the word we post on our feed. The greater United Methodist Church is participating using the hashtag #LentPhotoADay. We are using the hashtag #CFUMC. We will share those that we see using the hashtag!
Prayer as Living Actions
Throughout the church you will find glass receptacles with folded slips of paper that list a task for you to try during this Lenten Season. Take one (or two!) and try to achieve what is on the slip (or slips) and then when you are at church again, take a new one!
