Update from BSA Troop 181

Lent is a season of reflection, sacrifice, and renewal—a time to draw closer to God by deepening our love for others. The Cost of Compassion: Embracing Inconvenient Love During Lent challenges us to reconsider what it means to truly love our neighbors, even when it's inconvenient or costly. Through the stories of the Good Samaritan and Mary and Martha, this piece explores how acts of mercy and presence can transform both those we serve and our own hearts. As we journey through Lent, we are invited to slow down, notice the needs around us, and embrace a love that disrupts, challenges, and ultimately reflects Christ’s own compassion. Read on to discover how this season can shape a more intentional and sacrificial way of living.
