Lenten Reflections -
7:00 pm on Wednesday evenings, March 3 - March 24th. 
March 3rd - Breathe - With everything that we’ve got going on every day, how many of us ever think about our breathing, about the meaning of breathing?  Yet, for thousands of years, people have understood that our physical breath is a picture of a deeper spiritual reality.  In the Bible, the word for “breath” is the same as the word for “spirit”.  If we had more insight into the meaning of breathing, we would better understand how God created us as human beings.
