Lent is a sacred season of reflection, prayer, and renewal鈥攁n opportunity to grow in faith and draw closer to God. Beginning on Ash Wednesday, March 5, the 精品SM在线影片 community is invited to participate in worship, spiritual growth, and fellowship throughout the season.

This year鈥檚 Campus Ministry’s Lenten theme, “Jeremiah 29:11 鈥 Hope in God’s Plan,” emphasizes trusting in God鈥檚 purpose, even in uncertain times. Through prayer, scripture, and shared traditions, the journey toward Easter becomes a time of deepening faith and embracing the universal Church鈥檚 Jubilee Year theme, “Pilgrims of Hope.”

Opportunities to engage include Ash Wednesday liturgies, Stations of the Cross, Bible study, healing services, and more.
