Lent 2023

From the beginning of written history God had been unveiling himself to humanity. He is so incredible and awesome, and getting to know Him is a real adventure – but it’s one that takes time and space.

We find that God is disguised in everything, sometimes where we least expect to find Him. Let this Lent be our opportunity to seek God, so that we can open ourselves as much as possible to His true awesomeness.

We’ve themed each week of Lent so that you can focus on discovering God behind the mask of ourselves, our families, our friends, our community, nature and the world. Come enjoy the trip with us!
