Why Prepare For Lent?
God keeps God's promises.
God can be trusted.
Even So…God shows up.
The stories of the Old Testament are stories that Jesus would have learned, and knew, and followed. Our theme this year is inviting us to be mindful and pay attention to God when God shows up…Even So.
Preparation for Lent is actually a long-standing tradition in the history of the church.
But whether you eat pancakes or make doughnuts or not...doing some specific things to prepare can be incredibly useful in changing how you make your way through the Lenten season.
Especially if you want to have a different experience than you’ve had in the past.
See this guide on how to prepare your mind, body, and spirit into a Lent mindset.

Bill Imes will lead a study of this book on Sundays during Lent beginning February 18 and ending March 24. The class will begin at 11:15 in the conference room.

Hank is in training!
You may have seen this sweet face around in a meeting or wandering the halls of the administration building, but who is it? This guy with the tie-dye vest is Hank and he is training to be a therapy dog. What that means is that he is working to be a presence that brings some joy, comfort, or relieves some anxiety in spaces of grief, sickness, or just life.

Scenes from our Saguaro Build Day
On Thursday, January 4 at Habitat for Humanity, we came together as a group of folks from all different strokes to put up stucco base on a house for volunteers with Americorp. It was not only a service we could do to help those serving in our community as they serve others; but also an opportunity for us to get to know one another better as we worked side by side. Grateful for the way Saguaro showed up today and can’t wait to see the way our partnership with Habitat continues to blossom.
