Blessed Lent --
We are now in Holy Week, the highest and most
solemn week of the Christian year. We are in the
final days of our Lenten journey, as we walk with
Christ on the way to the cross, and mark -- with
fellow believers around the world, as has been done
for nearly two-thousand years -- His passion and
sacrifice for the salcation of the world, and ultimately
His rising from the dead on Easter morning.
Resources for the Seaon of Lent and Eastertide --
Liturgies, reflections, readings, music suggestions,
prayers, and more are here to aid in your worship
preparation and individual devotions and contemplation
as you complete your Lenten journey and enter into
the joy of His resurrection.
