This Week at Evergreen
For many of us, the season of Lent is either unfamiliar or undesirable. All the talk of darkness and fasting makes us wonder, "Why can't we just skip to the happiness of Easter?" But what if the true purpose of Lent is to call us back to ourselves? What if it's an invitation to rest and renewal? What if it's an opportunity to fall into goodness?
