Lenten Challenge 2026

Lenten Challenge - Fostering Love

Who will love most boldly? The HE vs SHE challenge

For the 2026 season of Lent, our Mission Committee has chosen to partner with the Marsh Foundation for our Lenten Challenge.  This year the challenge will be the men and boys against the women and girls.  The challenge will run through Easter when the winning team will be announced. 

Help foster families welcome children into safe, loving homes by supporting foster families during those critical first days. We are collecting new, essential items to help stock our Foster Care Closet and ease the transition for children entering care. 

We will be collecting these items

Diapers - all sizes in small count packages

Wipes

Infant and toddler soaps and lotions

Shampoo

Detangler

Hair care supplies like combs, brushes, and hair accessories

Underwear and socks - all sizes

First Aid supplies

Look for the baskets in the Welcome Center in Krout.
