An Invitation

Tomorrow, Wednesday, February 18, 2015 is Ash Wednesday and begins the season of Lent. A season in which we prepare ourselves for the arrival of Jesus at Easter. A season of self-denial in order to cleanse our hearts and make room for the coming of our King! We'd like to invite you to join us in discovering some foundational aspects of God's love through a 40 day study.

Each day we’ll send you an email related to God’s love. Some days may be mostly reading and journaling your own thoughts while others days will be more time spent searching the scriptures. It is our prayer that no matter where you are in your walk with Jesus that this study will help you find him at a deeper level; We want your faith roots to grow deeper!

As is often the tradition of Lent, we are encouraging you to fast. But not just a Coke a day! We are asking you to fast your time. Perhaps you wake up 20-30 minutes early each day, turn off the TV, or better yet, fast screens (other than your work), or skip your lunch time for the next 40 days. Whatever activity you choose to fast is time replaced with your Bible, notebook, and  a devotional guide. 


Then send us your thoughts, needs, and questions! We want to grow with you!  Hebrews 10:24-25 tell us, “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”  Though we may not be able to meet face to face, the gift of email will keep us connected! We will grow from you and you from us on this journey!

We have several friends already committed to this journey, and we are praying you will be a sojourner with us! If you want to participate, send us an email giving us at least your first name and an email address.  Email us at godfirstfriends@gmail.com
We will start tomorrow!
