The Turning: A Journey of Prayer, Fasting, and Thanksgiving
From Advent through Lent and beyond, we will turn toward God in new and lasting ways.
Imagine the glow of the first Advent candle in the dark, the quiet moment before the hymn begins. Picture yourself there, surrounded by your church family, all of us taking a first step on the same path. This is where The Turning begins.
Introduction:
The Turning is our shared pledge to walk together through the two great seasons of penitence - Advent and Lent - and into all that lies beyond Easter. It is a journey of returning to God’s heart, reshaping our daily lives through the disciplines of prayer, fasting, and thanksgiving.
Take a moment to remember one time in your life when you turned toward God and something in you shifted for the better. Hold that memory close as you read. When we turn toward God, we are changed forever. This journey begins now.
