Preparing for a Holy Lent with Children

February 17, 2023 By Allison Sandlin Liles Leave a Comment

Lent begins in less than a week. For the first time in three years, it actually feels like the beginning of a new season rather than a continuation of a pandemic-induced eternal Lent.

More Prayer Stations for Election Day

November 4, 2022 By Victoria Hoppes Leave a Comment

As the United States nears the 2022 midterms, I decided to create a new set of prayer stations to be used during this election season. These stations provide people with tangible ways to pray for our communities and leaders as we continue to navigate how to interact with each other in politically divided times.
