Online or San Damiano Ash Wednesday Lenten Day of Renewal

“Embracing Lent,

A Season for Prayer and Healing”

Wednesday, February 17, 2021: From 10:00 am to 3:00 pm

Dave Odom: Ash Wednesday instills a leadership discipline, even for a novice | Faith and Leadership
     As we begin our Spiritual Journey of Lent, we are encouraged to be Enlighten through the Transforming Power of God’s Word! The demanding and most challenging words of Jesus to His disciples invited them to embrace the Plan of God which altered their life style.

     This radical call is ours today! Integrating God’s Plan in our lives, of course is a life-long process! Our time today will help us examine the Words of Jesus Christ and how His message of old enriches our life as believers.
