Icons of Faith
Lent at St. Michael's
Icon refers to an image of Jesus or a holy person or event is used in prayer and devotion, as well as something or someone worthy of veneration and worship. Our Christian faith has icons, from those images of Jesus and saints to the Holy Eucharist and other sacraments that assist us, support us, and sustain us in our relationship with God and each other. Join us on Sunday evenings at 5:30 pm as we learn about the icons of our faith and how we can use them to deepen our faith. Sessions will be live-streamed and available online via our YouTube channel for viewing on demand.
Pause for Prayer
|
|
Our lives are busy, and the pandemic has made our daily lives so much more exhausting. The idea of adding a Lenten discipline of prayer or anything else seems like too much.
And we understand. So this Lent, St. Michael's offers a weekly video - a Pause for Prayer. Videos are no longer than 5 minutes and invite you to stop, to be present, and simply to be with God for a few moments in your day. You can replay the videos each day, or use the once a week. We'll share the videos via our Social Media pages and here on our website. So this Lent, take a pause for prayer. |
Lent Madness
Get ready for the annual Saintly Smackdown that is Lent Madness, a fun way to learn about saints and vote for your favorite each day. You can find out more about the saints in this year's bracket by visiting Lent Madness or check out the poster in our lobby. Each weekday of Lent, read a biography about the saints and choose your favorite.
While it's fun, Lent Madness also provides a great way to see that saints were quirky, odd, and faithful people who still followed God. We are all capable of great acts of love, just like the saints.

Growing in the Wilderness
The pandemic feels like wilderness, but God does amazing things in the wilderness, even when the wilderness stretches on for a while! These are all wilderness stories that remind us of what God can teach there, and that good things come out of wilderness times.
Growing in the Wilderness is a 5-part video series offered by the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta as an online program during Lent. Each week on Wednesdays, you can check back on this page for the weekly video along with a reflection guide. We encourage you to use this resource individually, with a friend, with your household, or in a small group setting.
Most of all, we encourage you to be an active participant in growing closer to God and in faith during this Holy Lent.
