Lent 2023
How will you get closer to God?  This is what we might ask ourselves as we approach Lent.  Many of us know of the tradition of ‘giving something up’, usually something less positive for our lives.  But we can forget about the ultimate purpose, which is to get ourselves closer to God.  This purpose might lead us more to the question, what will fill that empty space left by the ‘giving up’?
At San Luis Rey Valley our ministry team is working on some options that will help you get closer with God.  They are listed below.  Take some time to discern if God is urging you to something deeper this season.  The beauty of Lent is that it’s 6 weeks.  As we get busier, sometimes that’s the perfect window of time.
Let us know how you get inspired!
