Spring Training
Lent 2021 | Vista Ridge United Methodist Church
Ash Wednesday Devotional; No Virtual Service Tonight
Our affected power supply from freezing temperatures has forced the cancellation of our virtual Ash Wednesday service. Instead, as we enter the season of Lent, please take a few minutes to watch the Ash Wednesday video by Pastor Clay (posted above).
If you cannot watch it today, the short devotional can be watched another time to help prepare your heart and mind for Lent. Just as ballplayers have spring training, we will be doing some Spring Training of our spiritual practices during the Lenten season of self-examination. Join us on the active roster!
Let's Strike Out Hunger
As part of Spring Training, we will work together to help Strike Out Hunger in our community through a canned meat drive for the Christian Community Action (CCA) Food Pantry.
Our goal over the 40 days of Lent will be to collect 1,000 canned meat items for the angel families who are served by CCA.
According to Denton County, local nonprofit organizations have experienced a 40-60 percent increase in the number of people needing food assistance. Our church works year-round in partnership with the CCA Food Pantry to help stock the canned meat shelves.
Canned meat can include chicken, tuna, ham, potted meat, stew, chili, and pasta with meat. Drop off your canned meat donations at the church in the designated cart.
