The word Lent can invoke a number of thoughts, questions and feelings, depending on your background with the Church. Wherever one is coming from, we want each of us to be able to understand it through the lens of the one true story of the Bible. In a culture inundated with individualism and consumerism, with rhythms and practices that turn our desires toward the things we think we need, Lent turns our desires toward Jesus, the only thing we truly need, helping us trade lesser loves for His greater love. We invite you to join us for a night of learning more about this season on the Christian calendar and giving very tangible ways to participate.
