The Micah Project 

Lent 2012

The Transfiguration of Jesus teaches us that God transforms human life as we practice the lifestyle of Jesus. The Micah Project, our theme during Lent 2012, used the ancient prophet’s three-step method for giving that idea expression. It’s simple:

• Do Justice
• Love Mercy
• Walk Humbly with God
   

During this 40-day project, we helped and challenged the congregation to find specific ways to accomplish each of the steps.

Do Justice

Once a day, write a letter, make a phone call, start recycling, share a Facebook post, tweet a conviction. Join your fellow church members in one of the justice projects we are doing each week during Lent.

Love Mercy

Do an act of compassion once each day. Help someone who cannot repay you, put aside $1 a day for the needy, volunteer to do community service. Join your fellow church members in one of the community service projects we are doing each week during Lent.

Walk Humbly

Walk with God in humility by living with the questions rather than with the arrogance of believing we already know the answers. Worship weekly, give generously, read one of the recommended books (If Grace is True; If God is Love; Reading the Bible Again for the First Time; Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time).
