Discover the Extraordinary in the Ordinary This Lent

This Lent, we invite YOU to see the everyday with fresh eyes.  Join us for a 7-week online journey inspired by Jill J. Duffield’s book Lent in Plain Sight: A Devotion through Ten Objects.

Why This Matters:

As Duffield reminds us, the ordinary things we often overlook can become sacred signposts pointing us to God’s grace and love. Lent is not about grand gestures — it is about noticing God in the small, everyday moments.

What to Expect:

• Explore how God speaks through simple, familiar things — dust, bread, coins, shoes, oil, coats, towels, thorns, and stones.
• Reflect on how these ordinary objects reveal God’s extraordinary presence in Scripture and in our lives.
• Engage in meaningful conversations and spiritual practices that deepen your Lenten experience.
