No Greater Love - A Lenten Scripture Study
The Season of Lent invites us to reflect on the Passion of Christ.
This 5-part study will draw us into the events of Holy Week, their Old Testament connections and their contemporary spiritual insights. Each week will begin with a 30 minute video presentation filmed in the Holy Land followed by group discussion. There is no cost, no registration, no obligation to attend every week. For more information, contact Irene Lucas at ilucas@ourladyofmercychurch.org or 814-899-6132.
