Lent 2024 Worship Series
In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus invites and shows his disciples – and by extension, each of us – what it means to follow him. This Lenten series unpacks the layers of Jesus’ actions and teachings which illuminate the sacrifices and commitments inherent in the life of faith. Together, we’ll contemplate the challenges, joys, and sacrifices of discipleship and the journey that brings us ever closer to the cross.
