During these 40 days before Easter, Christians often focus on the “giving up” rather than focusing on what God infuses into their lives and spirits during this period of devotion. Many of our Member Churches have provided links to Lenten and Easter resources to help enrich this time. We share a few of those with you below. If your church has an Easter/Lenten resource that you would like for us to share, you may email it to us at communications@worldmethodistcouncil.org, or share on Social Media with the hashtag #LentWMC or #EasterWMC, via Facebook (@World Methodist Council) or Twitter (@WMCouncil).
