Amid a news cycle filled with stories that can cause overwhelm and disorientation, the season of Lent will begin next week on March 5.

Sharon Fennema, Join the Movement curator and storyteller, described how many of the movement-makers she has connected with in recent months have described “feeling inundated and pulled in a million directions by all the injustices being perpetrated at every level of government and society right now.”

It’s within this context that ministries of the United Church of Christ offer Lent resources filled with spiritual sustenance to meet the moment.
