Celebrating | The Second Sunday of Lent

Worship Guide will be available the Thursday before. 

Even in the shadows, Christ is at work. 

This Second Sunday of Lent, we reflect on Nicodemus's nighttime encounter with Jesus. Nicodemus was literally and figuratively in the "dark." Jesus entered his life to turn the "light" on. This story reminds us that God meets us not only in the daylight, but in the depths of our uncertainty and longing.
