SUNDAYS IN LENT

Our Lent series this year centers on the abundant grace of God poured out through water, wine, and oil throughout the Bible. These tangible elements invite us to connect our faith with everyday life. They offer renewal through simple reminders of God's presence and goodness, and they encourage us to share abundance with others.

Lent Devotional
