For the six weeks of Lent, we will explore what it means to give up some of the attitudes that limit our lives. Have you everconsidered the way fear, resentment, hurry, control, or our personal agendas limit our lives? What might it look like tosurrender these postures to God and begin to live freely and love deeply, unhindered by these attitudes? Join us for ourLenten sermon series as we explore how to give up in order to root ourselves more deeply in Christ.
