Lenten Workshop ~ March 8, 2026 ~ 11:30 am
“Wilderness Times: Meeting God in Dry Places”
Lent often leads us into the wilderness - those seasons of waiting, doubt, and spiritual dryness when God feels distant and prayers seem to echo back unanswered. This Lenten program, led by Pastor Jennifer, invites us not to rush through those wilderness times, but to stay with them, and discover how God is quietly at work even there.

Lenten Workshop
Sunday, March 8, 2026 ~ 11:30 am
​

Grab a coffee and join Pastor Jennifer in the library
for a Lenten workshop called:
 
"Wilderness Times: Meeting God in Dry Places"
Lent often leads us into the wilderness—those seasons of waiting, doubt, and spiritual dryness when God feels distant and prayers seem to echo back unanswered. This Lenten program invites us not to rush through those wilderness times, but to stay with them, listen within them, and discover how God is quietly at work even there. Together, we’ll explore Scripture, prayer, and shared reflection to learn how dry seasons can become places of deep honesty, trust, and unexpected fruitfulness. Whether you feel firmly rooted or spiritually worn thin, this journey offers space to name the struggle, seek God’s presence, and find hope in the midst of the wilderness.

togetherness. It’s designed to be simple, meaningful, with a
gentle spiritual thread woven throughout.

Space is limited; please sign up early.
