Road Signs
Sunday worship during Lent will find us reading the Road Signs as we take an Expedition to Easter. The first Sunday of Lent is February 22 and our first road sign that day is “Dead End.” As we move into March the road sign themes include “Road Construction,” “Divided Highway,” and “One Way.” We hope one of your Lenten spiritual disciplines will be to be in worship every Sunday that you’re able!
