Lenten Reflections
This Lent, parishioners at Christ Church in La Plata and Christ Church Wayside are offering reflections on passages in the Gospel of Mark, focusing on “How do I meet Jesus in this passage?” We hope you will meet Jesus in new ways through their writing – and add your comments to the conversation.
