Cleansing the Wounds

Pre-Lenten & Lenten Gatherings

We believe that wounds are cleansed through the Blood of Jesus.

Pre-Lenten and Lenten Gatherings will be held in each district complete with prayer and holy communion. When we partake in communion, we receive the body and blood of Christ to sustain us for the days ahead. These sacred gatherings invite us to cleanse the wounds within us and our communities. We hope you review the schedule below and join one closest to you.
