Here is the third and final
presentation documenting my response to the 2016 Lent word/photo challenge of
the United Methodist Church.
Lent Photo challenge 3/12/16
– Listen, the word of the day.
Volunteers listen, learn how to
package food for those in need.
Lent Photo challenge 3/13/16
– Celebrate, the word of the

grateful I’ll not be late.
Lent Photo challenge 3/14/16
– Path, the word of the day. May they continue on the right path.
Lent Photo challenge 3/15/16

– People, the word of the day. Ref. UMH # 558, . . . not a building, not a steeple.
Lent Photo challenge 3/17/16

Beautiful gifts of nature
restore my soul.

to have; a blessing to give.

Thanks
to many for
a great Palm Sunday,
uniquely uplifting.

– Steadfast, the word of the day.
Here they are; honored, steadfast
over time in service to others.

–
Path, the word of the day.
A
favored path (Psalms 119:35) beside a mighty oak tree.
Lent Photo challenge 3/26/16
–
Enter, the word of the day. They found
the stone rolled away and
they would enter.
(Luke 24: 2-3)
Lent Photo challenge 3/27/16
– Celebrate, the word of the
day. Easter Sunday! Celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Celebrate
eternal life.
For this Lent challenge the days numbered 47, not 40 which I’ve
always known to be the period of Lent.
Forty days of Lent do not include Sundays; this challenge did (‘celebration’ being the word of the day for each Sunday).
In addition, this special Lent Challenge was extended through the week
after Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday.
The highly appreciated and enlightening experience was the research. I loved searching for the ministry portraying the ‘word of the day’ in the selected photos.
Yes, the challenge was a personal and
spiritual growth experience like no other Lenten ‘sacrifice’ I’ve undertaken. I recommend it.
