Plan now for Lent 2020

In Lent 2020, the people and churches of the Diocese of Georgia are invited to join together for A Spring in the Desert: Rediscovering the Water of Life in Lent. There is a no cost option for people to fully participate in a class in their congregation using the online classes from ChurchNext.

About A Spring in the Desert
The Diocese of Georgia’s bishop-elect Frank and his wife, Victoria, offer a Lenten journey inspired by the many passages of scripture that use images of water in the desert as a sign of the healing and wholeness that come through God alone. To this they add the distilled wisdom of the Desert Mothers and Fathers and the surprisingly rich inspiration of the plants and animals that thrive in an arid land. Along the way, they will share the ways our faith speaks to the barren places in our lives and how those times of drought can be a source of strength.

How to take part
To share this material, they wrote a Lenten devotional for Forward Movement, with short daily reflections. In addition, they filmed a series of online videos in which they teach in 5-6 minute videos that can be shown and discussed. While the books are available at the link below, they are not required to take part. More information on the online videos will follow.
