| As we approach the season of Lent, we are invited into a meaningful journey of reflection, repentance, and renewed devotion. This time offers us space to slow down, draw near to God, and prepare our hearts for the hope and joy of Easter. Yet even now, says the Lord, return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; rend your hearts and not your clothing. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from punishment. Joel 2:12-13 |
| Family Promise We are grateful to the many of you that have signed up to bring meals, stay overnight, or are volunteering in any capacity this week with Family Promise. Thank you for helping our church feel like a home to the families in this program. |
