Making the most of Lent

Each year we produce a Lent guide for reflection and prayer. This year for the first time, we will link directly from our home page to the current week's reflections. Click here for the introduction, "Making the Most of Lent."  The guide is also available as a PDF (click here to download) and a limited number of print copies are available at church for those who have need.
