This year the theme for Lent and Easter is Blessed Hunger, Holy Feast with a focus on confessing our need for God and reaching out to God to fill us. Each Sunday, we will reflect on ta specific question:
March 10 – Who will seek God’s hand today?
March 17 – Who will seek God’s shelter today?
March 24 – Who will ask for our thirst to be satisfied today?
March 31 – Who will answer God’s invitation today?
April 7 – Who will follow a new way today?
April 14 – (Palm Sunday) Who will find comfort in love today?
April 21 – (Easter) Who will see Christ with us today?
