Challenges

This was a really good weekend.  We had 200 some people attend our Fireproof Movie Event at Lord of Life.  As part of the movie event, many of the couples committed to taking the 40 Day Love Dare Challenge.  Barbara and I are going to be doing this ourselves for the next couple of weeks.  All the couples who participate in the challenge will have the opportunity to renew their vows on April 5, which is Palm Sunday.

Kicked off our new message series today - Holy Habits, Wholly Living.  I issued a church wide challenge to commit to a 24 hour fast each Wednesday during the season of Lent.

This week Lent begins.  Ash Wednesday service will be at 7pm at Lord of Life.  I am excited for the celebration of Easter this year.  Lent is an important time of preparation for the celebration of the resurrection.  On Easter we will be doing the One Month to Live Challenge.  I am going to lead the staff through that challenge starting tomorrow during our staff meeting.

So I have got a lot of challenges going on now.  I've got the Love Dare, the Fasting Challenge, and starting tomorrow the One Month to Live Challenge.  

So thanks for your prayers to stay faithful to these challenges.
