That Final Week
Lent is a period of prayer and fasting in the lead-up to remembering Jesus’ death and resurrection. It is an opportunity to abstain from habits that threaten to have control over us. Each time we are tempted during this period to return to these habits it is an opportunity for us to replace those desires with desire for Jesus. Each week we have a card that will guide you in a reflection on a different day in the life of Jesus before his death and resurrection.

Irresistible Community

Church community can be hard and it can be messy, but when people of different backgrounds, cultures, and ethnicities come together in one Spirit, it brings glory to God in a way that nothing else can.
