Each year, in the season before Easter that churches have traditionally called Lent, Reservoir Church embarks on a 40-day faith experiment of spiritual practice. Lent is a mix of shared spiritual practices, focused learning, and daily prayers that push us to name what we would love most to see God do in our lives and in our world. We ask for these things and see how God responds. During Lent, many of our community groups use the bible guide as shared reading and prayer material.

Whether you’ve never opened a Bible before in your life, or you’ve been reading the Bible ever since learning memory verses as a kid, these guides were written with you in mind. People of all backgrounds have found these guides to be helpful, interesting, occasionally thought-provoking, and not-too-infrequently relevant to their lives.
