As we continue to hold in our hearts the joy of Jesus’s coming, the Church is inviting us to begin to look forward to Lent. Our new program for this Lenten Season is entitled, Return to Joy: A Lenten Journey of Renewal. It invites members to slow down, breathe deeply, and rediscover the nearness of God. The daily Gospel readings, heartfelt reflections, and simple practices guide the small group members on a pilgrimage of the heart – a journey back to stillness, grace and joy. Lent is not a season of heaviness, but a return to the love that has always been waiting.
