The Places that Matter
A Journey with Jesus toward Easter
March 9/10 March 16/17 March 23/24 March 30/31
During worship this Lent, join us on a journey to some of the significant places in Jesus’ life – the River Jordan, the wilderness, the Pool of Bethesda, the Mount of Olives & the Temple, the Upper Room, and the Empty Tomb. Discover in these places the issues that mattered to Jesus– and how these issues matter to us as well.
