“Lent is the sandpaper season of discipleship. Whether you give something up, or take something on during this season, allow God to use it to refine you.” ~ Julia Sandstrom (Evangelical Covenant Church of Canada)

Welcome

During this Lenten period we will be reading together from Wednesday, February 22nd , through Saturday, April 8th, skipping Sundays for a total of 40 days of Bible readings.

The Bible is our family history—the good, the bad, and the ugly.

It’s all there, and Scripture doesn’t hide from the truth. But also there is God’s intervention in our history, bringing about reconciliation from alienation. The individual stories of each human being (ours too!) intersect with the family history of the human race, and all flow back to Jesus Christ.
