LENT Devotionals
As we enter the Lent season, we prepare our hearts in a time of prayer, fasting, and self-reflection, leading to inner conversion and renewal for celebrating Jesus’ resurrection.
Members of our church have written a daily devotional guide, Listening in the Wilderness - Lent as Relearning Attentiveness to God, with themes of identity, waiting on God, and learning to recognize the Shepherd’s voice.
If you would like to receive a daily devotional in your inbox, please sign up here.
