Commit to
reading the Lenten Devotionals every day, followed by a time of
reflection and prayer.

Asbury morning prayer at 8.30 am Monday to Friday.

nursing home, prison ministry, or a Habitat for Humanity project.

others you see, and before you text and phone during your day.
5.
Be kind to
someone each day.
6.
Forgive at least one person each day
(including
yourself on occasion).
7.
Cultivate a
life of gratitude. Write someone a thank you letter, or notelet
each week and be aware of how many people have helped you along the
way.
8.
Read one
chapter from your Bible each day. Psalms, or a Gospel are good
places to start.

“prayer journal”.

prayer rhythm; say a prayer every time you brush your teeth, hear an
ambulance, check your e-mail.
11.
Give up soft
drinks, fast food, chocolate, tea or coffee and donate the money you
save to help folks in need, or crisis.
12.
Try an
electronic fast. Give up TV, video games, texting, tweeting, e-mail
and all things electronic for one day every week (or everyday of
Lent!). Use the time to read and pray.
