Circle Community

Lent is a period where we slow down and let God shape us. We remember that faith isn’t formed alone. Much of how God works in our lives happens through relationships, shared tables, and honest conversation.

This season we invite you to hold one person in prayer during Lent.

Not someone to convince. Not someone to fix. Just one person you can make space for.

Maybe you invite them to coffee, a walk, a game night, or simply sit with them and listen. Maybe you invite them to a Circle event or to worship when the moment feels natural. The goal isn’t pressure. The goal is presence.

Our circle grows when we intentionally make space & open it.

So ask God this simple question throughout Lent: “Who can I make room for?” You might discover that while you are welcoming them, God is shaping you too.

In Acts 16, the jailer expected punishment but received kindness instead. When has someone responded to you with grace when you were expecting the opposite?

What does covenantal relationships mean to you? What is expected and what is shared? Is it exclusion to say part from a person that breaks a covenantal relationship?

Have you ever changed something about yourself or your behavior just to make a situation work or to avoid unnecessary conflict? When did it feel wise, and when did it feel like you were compromising too much?

Where do you notice rules, traditions, or expectations being used to decide who belongs, and what do you think grace looks like in those spaces?

How can we support each other in 2026?
