Christianity is a journey. Though there is a single moment when we decide to commit ourselves to Christ, that moment is only the beginning of a continual process of growing into Christ-like-ness and recommitting ourselves to him again and again.

Christian Growth & Development
At Jonesboro UMC, we believe that a mature Christian—
Accepts Christ and his grace
Worships in spirit and in truth
Studies and applies the Bible
Prays and spends time seeking God
Serves others in the name of Christ and with His compassion
Witnesses to God’s saving grace
Participates fully in the church—in the sacraments, in loving relationships, in giving, in accountability

Make crosses from bars of hand soap as a reminder of Jesus’ sacrifice to cleanse us from our sins.
Draw a cross shape on each bar of soap, then carefully carve away the excess soap using a table knife (keeping the excess to use later!).
Place soap crosses in your bathroom and kitchen soap dishes, and in the kid’s bath.

Lenten Prayer Guide / Journal
The Prayer Team is suggesting that during Lent this year, instead of giving something up (or in addition to this self denial), you add something; a vow to make your prayer life more intentional and perhaps slightly more structured.
