The Northeast Valley Consortium Steering Committee met January 29, 2025. The five congregations are collaborating to generate involvement in the 2025 Grand Canyon Synod 40-40-40 Lenten Challenge.
This is an "all-in-fun" challenge among the synods of ELCA Region 2 to promote Lenten activities, all related to Isaiah 58:11 “The LORD will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.”
Resource materials for possible activities will be available soon; we anticipate a kick-off on March 2 (Transfiguration Sunday), a mid-point walk for water on March 22 (World Water Day), and a closing celebration service on April 17 (Maundy Thursday).
