Lent and Easter
Growing the Branches by Seeking Jesus is our 2024 Lenten theme.
Just as branches flourish when rooted in fertile soil, we too can thrive and bear fruit by nutruring our relationship with our Lord and Savior. Let this season be a time of intentional seeking, a time to delve into the teachings of Jesus, and a time to cultivate the seed of faith within our hearts. May you walk with Jesus through Lent, Holy Week and to the joy of Easter. May our God bring all of us the joy and jope of Easter!
