Lent 2024: Repentance, Prayer, and Service
This Lent at St. Matthews we are focussing on different pillars of Lenten spiritual practice throughout the season: acts of prayer, repentance, and service. Each Sunday we will highlight one of these themes in both the adult forum and in Family Chapel, and there will be opportunities to engage these themes practically through offerings like guided prayer, confession, and service projects. See below for our upcoming events!
