LENTEN STUDY

The Hardest Part: Life is this strange, tender mix, isn't it? Joy and sorrow, love and loss, heartbreak and hope, all tangled together. This year, we invite you to embrace Lent as it is- raw, honest, and tender. This is the season that asks us to stop pretending we're holding it all together. It's a time to pause, sit, with what's fragile and unfinished, and let God meet us in the hardest parts of our lives. – Kate Bowler. You are invited to join us this Lent through study and reflection of Kate Bowler’s newest Lent study, The Hardest Part
