Making the Road: Walking through Lent
Week 1
This study, written by Teri McDowell Ott of “The Presbyterian Outlook” magazine, is based on the Spanish poet Antonio Machado’s poem “Walker.” “Machado writes, ‘Walker, there is no road, the road is made by walking.’" The soil of our well-worn Lenten path has been overturned by the pandemic. If we want to follow Christ this Lent, we’ll need to prepare the way and make the road.” We hope you will all join us in this new journey.
