These devotions and times are special opportunities during Lent to grow closer to God, reflect on Jesus' love and sacrifice, and prepare our hearts for the joy of Easter. It's a time to slow down, pray, and focus on what truly matters.

​​The Stations of the Cross

A way of prayer, that helps us to understand the great sacrifice of Jesus for our salvation. He suffered and died for us, out of love, so we could be forgiven and stay close to God. When we pray the Stations of the Cross, we walk step by step with Jesus, thanking Him, learning about His love and courage, and asking for strength to carry our own troubles with faith and hope.
