“WERE YOU THERE…” Lenten Journey 2018
Lent is an invitation to join Jesus on the road to Jerusalem, a journey that offers a number of important stops along the way. At each of these stops we learn something about ourselves, something we need to know to grow closer to God. Invite a friend and join us on this journey as we ask the question of the old hymn:
