 Pathways to Discipleship

During Lent (February 17 - April 3) we will read the book of Luke.  By tracing Jesus' ministry of care, teaching and preaching, through self-sacrifice and triumph into new life, we begin to see a pattern for our own journeys of faith. See each week's reading assignment below.
​
Join classes on Sundays @10:00 and read the daily devotional to dive deeper into Luke's gospel.
