Lenten Devotional

The Season of Lent is when we remember the sacrifice of Christ that culminates with the joy of Easter morning.

The Lenten devotional guide will primarily be distributed via daily email. If you are not part of that mailing list, you can sign up with the form or request a printed copy by calling the church office 858.756.2441.

We pray you find the shared reflections of others in our congregation, as well as other Christian leaders, to be both inspirational and useful as we continue on our journey and Follow Jesus for life.

February's Focus:

I Am Meant to Know God

All month long, the focus is on helping students and leaders see that the journey of discovering God is pivotal to our faith. In fact, a real and growing relationship with God changes how we live, how we love, and ultimately, how we relate to others.
