Our Lenten resource is parish-created and based on feedback from C2C small group leaders and participants. We'll continue to focus on the upcoming Sunday Mass Readings (Year C), while taking a deeper dive into the Gospel each week. C2C small group sessions will start with prayer and icebreakers, followed by “setting the scene” for the Gospel. We'll then explore the Gospel through various prayer styles, like Visio Divina, Ignatian Contemplation, Praying in Color, Lectio Divina—great for your personal prayer too.
C2C small group leaders can click the links below for the small group handouts and leader guides. Color copies of the handouts will be available at the Parish Office, Sacristy, Ministry Center, and the Bay Room—take what you need and recycle them for another C2C small groups when finished.

Throughout Lent, our C2C small groups focus on the Gospel readings for the upcoming Sunday, helping us connect more deeply with the Mass during this sacred liturgical season. The handouts are designed to inspire thoughtful, Spirit-led discussions, allowing us to explore the week's Gospel and theme more deeply, so we can all grow closer to Jesus.
