Join Faith United in a congregation-wide daily spiritual practice this Lent: reflective time with prayer throughout the Bible. Pastor Marissa has written a daily devotional for our whole congregation (and beyond—we hope you’ll share it with others in your life!) for this Sacred Season.

Each day you will be directed to a specific prayer said in the Bible, and be offered one or two reflection questions. We pray that this daily time spent in God’s word will ground you in love and mercy as we walk through this holy season, led by our divine shepherd.

You can also pick up a physical copy in the back of the church or contact the church office and request a copy.
