MORE ABOUT OUR THEME

Our Lenten theme, Bread of Life, highlights how Jesus fed people—not just their bodies but also their souls—with good news, stories of redemption, and parables that showed the way of God’s kin(g)dom. From wedding feasts to eating with tax collectors to feeding thousands, people left Jesus’ presence with full hearts and bellies. A gift Jesus gives freely so we may give to others.

Amid injustice and tragedies, we remember we must first gather around the table for strength so we can respond with love and grace. As we journey through Lent, from the wilderness to the shores of Galilee, we find the sacred in the ordinary—like bread, simple yet essential. Bread of Life reminds us there is abundance—more than enough love, grace, and hope for all. If you are weary, lonely, or burdened, come to the table and be fed.
