LENT MADNESS

The world quivers in anticipation each year for the coming of Lent Madness. The Madness pits saints against each other for the coveted Golden Halo. Each day during Lent, while you read and learn about various saints, you (and thousands of other people) get to vote for your favorite in a head-to-head match-up.

The Evelyn Underhill Region will be participating in Lent Madness this year.

Our Lent Madness poster will be pinned up in the Narthex. Play along and bring your brackets to a festive Golden Halo coffee hour on Sunday, April 16. We will have games, prizes and a fun-themed coffee hour.

A bracket printout will be available in church on Sunday, or you may download the bracket here.
