Lent 2021
We begin this new season of Lent with an opportunity to reset and begin again with God and ourselves, as well as the values and ideals that we espouse for our life.
Join Bishop Wright in a 5-part video series to help guide us during this season of sacrifice and self-examination. Reflection guides for small group or individual Bible study will also be available to go along with each video.
