This Lent, we have installed outdoor Stations of the Cross along Pine Street, between Third & Fourth Streets. All are invited to pray and meditate as you journey with Jesus from his condemnation by Pilate to his crucifixion and burial. The images for the stations this year were created by artist Scott Erickson, and each is accompanied …
This Lenten season, we will read many stories of Jesus encountering people who are seeking: a new beginning, a different life, a deeper faith. In these interactions, an unveiling often occurs—assumptions are disrupted, a new perspective is revealed, mystery grows. And so, we’ve crafted a Lenten series founded on questions.

Rising costs have left many of our Food Cupboard clients not only short on food but necessary household items as well. Beginning in Lent, the Food Cupboard will offer a bag of household goods the first Saturday each month with cleaning staples many families cannot afford right now: laundry detergent sheets, dish soap, toilet paper, …
