Living in the In-Between: A Lenten Journey

As we prepare for Lent and Easter, we reflect on living in the “in-between” space—between division and unity, injustice and peace. Through scripture, prayer, and acts of mercy, we embrace Christ’s call to love and serve, exploring stories from the Gospel of Luke.
