In Week 5, we will continue to focus on service and sacrifice. The calendar posted here offers several ways that we can model our behaviors after that of Jesus. Below you will find links to lessons and videos that will help you learn about Lent as we approach Holy Week next week.
A few notes about the video and how our practice differs from those in the video:
In the video during the section on Prayer. While we do believe in praying faithfully during Lent, there are some practices that we, as AME, do not generally have an Adoration Chapel or pray the Rosary, instead use your time in prayer to meditate on your relationship with Jesus and to practice prayer as we have learned.
In the video during the section on Ash Wednesday, there are specific phrases that they state will be said, however, if you attended our Ash Wednesday Service you may remember that we used different words. Try and remember what was said as you received the ashes and discuss this with your family.
In the video during the section on Repentance there is a statement on participating in the act of Confession, we as AME, do not believe that one must confess sins to anyone other than God himself. We do believe that you should confess to God and promise to change our lives, but we do not require another to participate in this act.
Is there anything else you noticed that you have questions about? If so let us know HERE.
