We invite you to use the season of Lent as an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and shift our focus from the lesser things to be more mindful of the greater things of God. We celebrated the first day of Lent with “Into the Wilderness” a self-guided experience of prayer and reflection. Whether you were able to attend or not, you can find an online version of the experience in this blog post.

Our Give Love Away campaign provides a couple of different opportunities for us to put some action to our love for others. Check out the initiatives and see how you can participate.
