Lent at First Church: The Way

Lent is a season of reflection, and this year we journey together along The Way—inspired by the ancient practice of pilgrimage and the modern story told in The Way, set along the Camino de Santiago. Across centuries, people of faith have discovered that intentional journeys—on roads, paths, and even familiar sidewalks—can open us to deeper awareness, healing, and hope.

You don’t have to travel far to make a pilgrimage. This Lent, let’s walk The Way—together. To learn more about our Lenten journey and what to expect, visit our website.
