Join us for the 40 days of Lent to look within ourselves as we embark on an Inward Journey. We will focus inward to discover our connection with God and our connection with others. As Howard Thurman says: "When we go deep enough inside ourselves, we come up inside all other people."

Lenten Devotional Lenten Classes and Groups Holy Week Services
During the season of Lent, we remember Jesus’ story from Ash Wednesday to His Resurrection. And this year as we explore our theme, Rooted in Christ, we will consider what was foundational and what sustained Him as he trusted His very self unto God. At the same time, we will look into our own faith story and explore our rootedness, a generous gift from God. Together, let us examine our roots.
Each week this devotional will serve as your guide. Commit to some intentional time to pray, meditate, reflect on whatever resonates with you, and then respond in love as your roots deepen. This practice may become your Lenten practice.
