"Return to me with your whole heart, with fasting, weeping, and mourning; rend your hearts, not your garments, and return to your God." (Joel 2:12-13)
Welcome to Lent 2021!
The prophet Joel summons us to "Blow the trumpet, proclaim a fast, call an assembly, gather the people..." And so we will be blowing the trumpet throughout Lent summoning you to pray, fast, give alms, and join us daily or weekly for themed resources with videos, blogs, and podcasts. We've also created a Lent 2021 Calendar for suggested ways to be engaged each day.
Let us begin our journey with Jesus, and pray for one another on this spiritual quest!
