Lent 2022 - You are Here.

Ash Wednesday, March 2
through Easter Sunday, April 17
In this season we take intentional steps to learn, grow, and give in faith, that we might see better where we are, see that God meets us here.  This year, we're using You Are Here, from the Barn Geese Resource group and with others across the country.
Find worship details and RSVP for in-person worship on our worship page.
