Lent

Lent is a time to reflect on our need for reconciliation with God and our neighbor. We spend time together in shared meals, in programs that help us grow, and in worship that helps us find meaning in the story of Jesus’ last week in Jerusalem. Grow closer to God and to one another by participating in our Lenten activities.
