Exodus Lent for Men
Sundays, 7:30-8:45pm
February 26 - April 2
South Bend
Men, are you tired of unwanted habits? Are you looking for the freedom to be who you are truly called to be? Would you like to have fellow young adult men to work toward this goal together?
Consider joining us for Exodus Lent from the creators of Exodus 90. Grounded in the pillars of prayer, asceticism, and fraternity, you will strengthen your detachment from worldly things in order to grow in relationship with God and the people around you. It will be a challenge, but well worth it! This spiritual exercise includes prayer, reading, and reflections; abstaining from screen time and certain foods; and weekly check-ins with our men’s group for support and accountability. Through these, your Lent will empower you to live life anew come Easter.
The weekly group check-in meetings will be held on Sunday evenings throughout Lent. Exodus membership costs $20 over this time frame, and will be reimbursed by Ablaze Mission when you complete the program with our group.
