Thursdays in Lent
Feb. 23-March 30, Noon-1 p.m.

This group's goal will be to practice concrete ways of fasting during the Lenten season. Meet weekly to discuss this ancient spiritual practice used across many faith traditions and learn practical applications.
We will ponder how this practice of self-discipline can improve one's spiritual and physical life. The group will incorporate weekly fasts together and reflect on their individual experiences.
