Jesus the Stranger | A Brand New Lent Study
Led by Daniel Patrick
Begins March 11 at 12:00 pm (Lunchtime) in W104
Repeats Tue Nights @ 6 PM in W104
We invite you to walk with Jesus and see him in a new way during this season of Lent. Jesus the Stranger: A Daily Lenten Reader leads us on this journey, offering a fresh lens through which to see Christ. Focusing on his humanity—especially his experiences of suffering, rejection, and isolation—this Lenten reader helps us relate our own struggles and humanness to his. As we journey with Jesus toward the cross, we are met by our Savior, who lived and fully understands our pain and sorrow—who offers healing, the healing of holy love.

Prayer Changes Things

The Lord is calling you to do something that is bigger than yourself. Come and find your place and be a part of our Legacy Prayer Team!!
