LENT / EASTER 2024
SUNDAY SCHOOL SMALL GROUPS A 5-week Lenten session of Sunday School for adults and high school youth will be meeting. We will meet in small groups (6-8 people) for sharing, prayer, and discussion on the daily readings from "A Just Passion". We pray these short-term small groups will provide a springboard to growing deeper with one another as we grow deeper with Jesus.
If you know you want to be part of a Lenten small group, please RSVP HERE. Of course, if you don't sign up, you may still come! It just helps us with organizational details. Thanks!
