There will also be events going on throughout the entirety of the event.

•Lenten promise journal- Lent is a time of sacrifice, so you can write what you are planning to give up or do during the Lenten season along with everyone else. The journal will be kept in the campus ministry building and prayed over daily to give you strength to make it through your journey.

•Wall of Thanksgiving- Butcher paper will be put up with markers so people can write what they are thankful for.

•Laying it Down at the Cross- We all struggle with different hardships. This is the time to Lay it Down at the Cross and let God. We will have a wooden cross with paper, nails, and hammers so that people can nail their worries to the cross.

•Prayer Intentions- There will be a box where you can add a prayer intention for yourself or take someone’s request out and pray for them. We need to remember that we are all a community and therefore need to keep each other in prayer.

•Prayer through the Arts- We will have a crafts table with things to journal on, color, or paint. This way people can find the way to best express themselves through prayer. For prayer throughout the event, we will set up a shrine by the steps near the back of the lawn. We will have an altar with a cross and chairs, blankets, and pillows for people to get comfortable on.Stop by whenever you get the chance! Food and drink will be provided throughout the event!
