Each Tuesday afternoon you will find a new Lenten Devotion posted here.  The symbol (above) for our prayer journey together is the labyrinth, an ancient prayer path.  Together we will explore a different prayer practice each week.  We invite you to make use of it when and where your schedule permits…spread it out through the week, select one day to make time to experience the entire devotion, or even repeat it several times as you desire.
