Beauty For Ashes

We’re extending our Lent and Easter series by two weeks as we look at two post-resurrection appearances of Christ to his disciples.

As we prepare our hearts for the celebration of Christ’s resurrection, we will meditate on seasonal Bible readings and God’s desire to make all things alive in us: he wants to offer beauty for our ashes.
