A Year in Pictures
March marks a year that Blacknall has been gathering in new ways due to the pandemic. People have sewn masks, delivered meals, learned to use Zoom, opened up their backyards, and cared for one another in many other unseen ways. Below are photos of what life together has looked like this past year. Please share more photos here.
Ministry Spotlight | Housing for New Hope

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.)
Lenten Prayer & Fasting with DMET
Saturdays, 9-10 am | Zoom Link on CCB
During this season of Lent, you are invited to join us in fasting Friday lunch and spending that time in prayer for our city, especially for our partners in ministry who will be sharing updates with us each week. Join us Saturdays over zoom to pray and reflect together for our city and our partners.
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.
