OUR JOURNEY THROUGH LENT AS A CHURCH

LENT IS A SEASON OF 40 DAYS (NOT COUNTING SUNDAYS) IN THE CHRISTIAN CALENDAR THAT MOVES US TOWARD OUR REMEMBRANCE OF JESUS' DEATH ON GOOD FRIDAY AND OUR CELEBRATION OF THE RESURRECTION ON EASTER SUNDAY. IT IS TRADITIONALLY A SEASON OF SELF-EXAMINATION, REPENTANCE, AND CONSECRATION - A SEASON WHERE WE ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO SET US APART AND MAKE US MORE LIKE JESUS AS WE CAST OFF THE OLD WAYS OF SIN AND BROKENNESS AND TAKE UP THE WAY OF JESUS. THERE ARE FOUR WAYS WE ARE INTENTIONALLY PRACTICING THIS SEASON TOGETHER AT OHC:

LEARNING JESUS through the Gospel of Mark

WHETHER IN PERSONAL STUDY, IN A GROUP, OR THROUGH RIGHTNOW MEDIA, WE LEARN JESUS THROUGH READING THE GOSPEL OF MARK AS A CHURCH. WE HAVE 3 AVAILABLE RESOURCES YOU CAN USE TO FOLLOW ALONG WITH US:
  • FOLLOW OUR MARK READING PLAN BY GRABBING ONE OF OUR LENT BOOKMARKS AT CHURCH AND FOLLOW THE READING PLAN EACH DAY. WE WILL PREACH FROM THE WEEK'S READING ON SUNDAYS.
  • TAKE A NLT MARK FILAMENT BIBLE JOURNAL ON SUNDAY AND USE IT AS A PLACE TO WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU ARE LEARNING, WHAT YOU NOTICE, AND WHAT QUESTIONS YOU HAVE AS YOU READ THROUGH MARK. USE THE FILAMENT APP TO UNLOCK ALL THE FREE STUDY FEATURES OF THE JOURNAL.
  • CHECK OUT OUR RIGHTNOW MEDIA LENT LIBRARY THAT CORRELATES WITH THE GOSPEL OF MARK AND THE SEASON OF LENT.

PRAYERS FOR THE LOST

EVERYDAY IN THE LENTEN SEASON, WE PRAY FOR THE LOST IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND ACROSS THE WORLD. WE FAST TOGETHER ON FRIDAYS AS WE ARE ABLE.
THE FASTING PRACTICE

BLESSING BEYOND OURSELVES 

LENT IS A SEASON WHERE WE LOOK BEYOND OURSELVES AND BLESS OUR WORLD WITH WHAT WE SAY, WHAT WE DO, AND WHAT WE HAVE. WE LOOK FOR WAYS INDIVIDUALLY AND AS A CHURCH TO BLESS THOSE IN NEED AROUND US.
