2013 Lenten Calendar 
This Lenten calendar reminds us of how we connect with others in many ways through Local Outreach. It also reminds us of how much we have been given, how much we have to share. Add coins to a lenten jar each day and on Easter Sunday joyfully reach out to others through your special offering.
