Let's go through Lent Together

/

Lent is a journey.  During this season, Christians often like to spend more time in prayer, reading the scriptures and reflecting upon our lives. Let’s support each other during this season: join Neil Mancor for a weekly gathering of lectio, sharing and praying. Neil has created a daily journal for Lent with readings for everyday, space to record your thoughts and self-examination questions to ponder.

Wednesdays during Lent at noon and 7 pm EST (Register for link) starting February 21
