Embrace Simplicity: Region 2's Lenten Challenge on Daily Decluttering

As we journey through Lent in 2024, Region 2 of the ELCA invites you to embrace a season of reflection, renewal, and community engagement with our Lenten Challenge. Among the four simple yet profound practices we suggest, "Daily Declutter" stands out as a unique opportunity for both spiritual and physical cleansing. This practice encourages you to dedicate time each day to decluttering your space and mind, fostering an environment of peace and simplicity that mirrors the Lenten spirit of introspection and preparation.

By choosing to declutter, you're not just organizing your surroundings; you're making room for new growth and freeing yourself from the physical and mental clutter that often hinders our connection with God and one another. Whether it's clearing out a drawer, tidying a workspace, or donating items you no longer need, each act of decluttering can serve as a tangible expression of letting go of what no longer serves us, making space for the new life Easter promises.

This Lent, let's join together in the Region 2 Lenten Challenge, committing to "Daily Declutter" alongside two other practices of your choice. Together, we can turn our attention towards what truly matters, creating a season of meaningful change that extends beyond our homes and hearts to touch the broader community and world.
