Lent STUDY GROUPS
Have you ever wanted to join a small group, but life feels busy, and the commitment feels daunting? We get it, we have all been there at some point.
As we talk about every year when we approach Lent, the season leading up to Easter isn’t meant to be ordinary. It’s a time of anticipation—a chance, in the waiting, to create new rhythms and habits that help prepare our hearts for Easter.
This year, we want to do that together as a church. During Lent, we’ll be offering a variety of Lent Groups that will meet for six weeks and talk through the sermon each week leading up to Easter. This means no extra homework!
It’s six weeks of being intentional, building community, and maybe even trying something new. Lent runs from February 18th through April 5th this year, and as we prepare, let’s choose together not to let these be ordinary days.
