40 Days: A Journey to Easter
Easter is the most important day of the year for Christians. It’s the time when we celebrate the truth that Jesus conquered death and is alive today. As Easter approaches, let’s prepare our hearts and minds to celebrate our hope in Him.
What is 40 Days?
40 Days is an intentional journey to focus on Jesus. By reflecting on His story, we can consider how He is asking us to follow Him in our unique season and context. We encourage you to join us in this journey, as it can have a lasting impact on your life and those around you.
