If you would like to help contact Chrissie Gilbert. From Ash Wednesday through Easter, we will be looking at the Signs of Lent. Like signs we see along the roads that tell us what to do, we see signs along the way on our Lenten journey that show is the way to Christ. We will begin on Ash Wednesday, February 14, being reminded to make a U-Turn, turning away from our sins and turning back to God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Every Wednesday and Sunday throughout the Lenten Season we will examine a different sign. Be a part of the Lenten Series!
