The Season of Lent @ Sure Foundation

In 2011, the season of Lent begins on March 9 with Ash Wednesday and finds its culmination on April 22 with Good Friday.

Sure Foundation will use the traditional 40 days of Lent to once again see our champion, Jesus, fight for us in his passion. Really, the season of Lent brings us face to face with the greatest clash of all time. During Lent we witness the supreme champions of both good and evil hold nothing back as each seeks with all his might to destroy the other once and for all. At Sure Foundation, while we watch this battle unfold, our eyes are focused on Jesus because our hopes of freedom and glory rest in him.

Wednesdays During Lent:

Beginning March 2, we are meeting at 7pm on Wednesdays at the church to consider the passion readings from the gospels. We will discuss these readings and apply them to our lives. The passion readings with discussion questions will be made placed in the bulletin for those who cannot attend.

• March 2: What is Ash Wednesday?
• March 9: Ash Wednesday Worship
• March 16: Passion Reading #1

Sundays During Lent:

On the Sundays in Lent, Jesus will train and equip us for our own spiritual battles. We will see that there is no one more qualified or more capable of bringing us victory on our personal battlefields than he who has already conquered sin and death for us. We can boldly and courageously charge into battle!
