Our resource this Lent is parish-created and based upon C2C leader feedback. While we will continue to focus on the upcoming Sunday Gospel as we normally do in our C2C small groups in Lent, each week we will take a deeper dive into the Gospel:
In addition, each week we will have a short video (3-5 minutes) from Gayle Heyman, our Director of Religious Education, that will focus on a particular aspect of Lent for you and your small group to watch and discuss. Below you will find all the resources you need for each week.
For C2C small group leaders preparing for the C2C discussions, click the links below for handout and video on prayer. Both tools walk you through the different prayer types you will lead your small groups through in the 2nd Sunday - 5th Sunday of Lent, and Easter. And the handouts for these different prayer types are below.
