In the busyness of our daily routines, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly brings us joy—living with purpose, serving others, and being part of something greater than ourselves. Here are two ways you can make Lent meaningful in 2025.
CHOOSE HOPE LENTEN DEVOTIONAL
For the Lenten season, we invite you to Choose Hope—to step back, reflect, and find renewal through simple acts of prayer, service, and generosity. David Brooks, in The Second Mountain, writes, “The deepest joy comes when we focus not on ourselves, but on others—the people we serve and the lives we help change.”
Join our special Lenten email series and receive a weekly devotional that will help you create a lasting space of tangible hope, generosity, and compassion! (If you’ve joined our 40 Days of Hope series in the past, you’ll begin receiving the new series.)
JOIN THE LENT EXCHANGE
Lent is also a season of reflection and self-denial, but what if your sacrifice could extend beyond yourself? This year, we challenge you to exchange something small—your morning coffee, a dinner out—for something greater: real impact in the lives of New Yorkers facing hardship.
Join The Lent Exchange—a simple yet powerful way to turn personal sacrifice into tangible hope for neighbors in need. We pray that 500+ families will join us in generosity throughout this season to raise $50,000. Will you be one of them?
Every act of sacrificial giving, no matter the size, has the power to bring light to darkness and hope to the seemingly hopeless. Together, we can make this Lenten season one of true transformation.
