Take a step forward in your life with Jesus by joining our Lenten study of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Cost of Discipleship. Led by Chris Blumhofer and friends. Pick up a copy of the book. (Any edition will do, but this is the one we recommend. For those who have access to it, the Duke Library also has an e-version of this book.)

DMET Lent Devotional Offerings

As we enter the season of Lent, these on-line resources may be useful in expanding our Christian imagination for coming alongside those who are marginalized and to listen in on what the Lord may be whispering to us. Our hope is that these resources may help us to situate the real issues of our time theologically.

  • Habitat for Humanity – weekly Devotional exploring ways “we can honor Jesus by caring for others.” Each weekly reflection includes prayer, scripture, a contemporary reflection and questions for discussion.

  •  An American Lent – an on-line (or downloadable) daily Lenten Devotional developed by The Repentance Project and is a “journey through America’s history of slavery, segregation and racism.” Each day includes an opening and closing prayer, scripture, reflection and links to resources for deeper resources.  

  • Presbyterian Mission of PCUSA Beloved Community Lenten Devotional – Using a model of Christ’s words in Matthew 25, this Lent Devotional is intended to increase commitment to “creating beloved communities in our own backyards.”  Each day includes scripture, a reflection, and a closing prayer. This guide was designed in 2020 but is very current and easy to use.

Update your Church Directory Listing!

In this time of being apart, help us keep our church database and printed directory current by updating your CCB profile.

Instructions:  

Visit CCB. Request an account if you are not sure you have one.  

1) Under Contact, verify or enter your phone numbers, home and mailing addresses. 

2)  Under Personal, verify or enter your birthday (birth year is not visible to the congregation but is helpful for our records).  

3) Help us get to know you! Under Social, add any social media profiles you want to share. Under Custom, add details such as College, Job Title, and Occupation. If you have an online bio or blog, you may include the link in the “My Website URL”. The Race field is helpful for our records.

4) Photos: Please add or update both your Profile photo and a Family (or second profile) photo. (We suggest a photo taken within the last three years.) The Family/second profile photo is the one that will be displayed in the printed directory, so be sure we have one on file. (A camera icon next to Family means you will not have a directory photo.) A landscape orientation (16:9 ratio) works best. For families, consider uploading a close-up for each individual, and a group shot for the Family photo.
