Joy: Lent Week 5 – Keep us safe

“And keep us safe.” Matthew 6:13

Maundy Thursday services will be held in many churches this week. These services often include a simple meal sometimes called a “love feast” or perhaps a seder meal. These meals are designed to help recount God’s faithfulness to God’s people over many generations.

How has God shown faithfulness to you throughout your life?

Consider marking God’s faithfulness to you in a tangible way this week. Some ideas are:

  • Plant a perennial. Perennials return each year. When it blooms this summer (and in subsequent years) you can be reminded again of God’s faithfulness.
  • Write a list of three ways you have experienced God’s faithfulness and post it in a place you will see it throughout the upcoming week.
  • Do you have faithful friends? Invite them over for coffee or a meal. Do this as an act of thanksgiving to God for your friends.
