From the beginning, part and parcel of the Lenten observance has been alms giving.
The purpose of fasting is not so much a bodily discipline as it is a sharhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifing discipline.
Becoming aware of the needs of others, and responding to them with generous gifts of our time and talents and money are particularly transforming.
During this season we will be emphasizing our One Great Hour of Sharing as a concrete way of self-sacrifice for the needs of others.
The discipline of a daily gift to the One Great Hour of Sharing jar is a concrete way of focusing our thoughts on our individual purpose for living.
It becomes an expression of the faith we proclaim.
We will dedicate these special offerings on Palm Sunday, April 17.
Be with us each Sunday during this Lenten season at Christ Presbyterian Church in Drexel Hill.
