During Lent, We Reflect on the Life of Christ
Part of Jesus’ humanity included experiences of negative emotion, including sadness and loneliness. God never intended for us to be completely self-sufficient. Part of God’s plan is for each of us to turn to others for help when we need it. Consider having a trained Stephen Minister in your life. To find out more, talk to one of the pastors, contact us by
