Dear Parents,

Lent is a special time for spiritual growth as we prepare for Easter. Lent affords us the opportunity to slow down, strengthen our prayer life, and grow closer to Christ and one another.
This is a wonderful time to help make connections with people in your own family and within your church community, encouraging and supporting one another on the journey of Lent. With that in mind, we have several opportunities available for families to connect during Lent.
March At A Glance:
Lenten Sunday School for Adults Ages 35-50
