Kurt Froese will be offering a three-week class for Lent which will focus on the three pillars of Lent. These are prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.

Class one will focus on prayer and what role that plays in a life of faith.

Class two will review the tradition of fasting and texts that mention it. We will then discuss what role fasting plays in the current Christian tradition.

Class three will examine the importance of acts of charity and how they can influence our life as well as the lives of others.

These three pillars will be studied and discussed so that we can apply practical faithful living that influences our relationships and communities.
