we are giving a prayer guide

whether or not you are a "lent observer" I think you can use the prayer guide we are publishing with benefit

There will be some paper copies available sunday... quite simply, there are suggesting thing for you to pray for in the morning, and other things in the evening

Morning Prayer

Thank your Heavenly Father for giving you this new day. Pray that
this day and every day might be fully lived to his glory.

Ask the Lord to help you keep a holy Lent. In whatever devotions your practice during Lent (extra times of study, meditation, and prayer; fasting;
giving to the needy, etc.), pray that they will be for you
a time of true spiritual renewal.

Pray for the staff at Christ Community Church – that this season of Lent would be a time of spiritual refreshment for them and their families.

Pray for our ministries of adult education and discipleship and for
our Community Groups and their leaders. Pray that we would be formed more and more into the image of Christ.

Pray for your friends, neighbors, and family members who do not
have a saving relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Pray that
they will come to know Christ in the fellowship of his people.
Ask the Lord to use you in their lives.

Pray for our new building project, especially for Frank Matthews as he is working very hard to coordinate this project. Pray for wisdom and the Lord’s provision.

Ask the Father to make us more and more a people of bold,
sustained, kingdom-centered prayer.
Almighty and merciful God, you hate nothing you have made and forgive
the sins of all who repent: Create and make in us new and contrite
hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our
wretchedness, may obtain of you, the God of all mercy, perfect remission
and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with
you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
