Lenten Micropractices

Lent is a 40 day season of preparation for the resurrection of Jesus. In our Lenten Micropractices, you’ll find a new practice to guide you each day on your journey of preparation. Some practices can be done on the spot, some during the day, and others will take some time and/or prep work.

Traditionally, there are three pillars of Lent: praying, fasting, and alms giving, which come to us from Matthew 6:1-18. Our micropractices rotate through these themes, along with additional practices that don’t fit neatly in one of those categories (“more”).

What’s a micropractice?

A micropractice is a small spiritual practice. Instead of engagingng the same spiritual practice throughout Lent, the micropractices are meant to give a sample across many different styles of practices. Some are active, some are reflective. They will make you think, take action, connect with God and others, and live into your Christian life.
