This Lenten Season we are journeying through Ephesians as a part of the In The Word Challenge. I have challenged you to dig into the Word of God in a weeklong meditation on the chapters of Ephesians knowing that there will also be a high level of accountability. 

Here is what the challenge said: By signing up I am committing to reading, meditating and responding to a chapter a week of Ephesians. I will be sharing with Pastor my progress and insights and he will be holding me accountable to this promise. If you want to join this challenge email me as soon as possible: pastorshawn@pilgrimbeaverton.com

This Bible challenge has come to an end. It was a learning experience full of joy and insights. I look forward to the next journey into God's Word. 

-Pastor Shawn Hazel
