Second Sunday in Lent
Second Sunday in Lent (A)

March 1, 2026

During this second week of Lent, the Church gathers around the words of Jesus in worship on Sunday: For God so loved the world that God gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but have eternal life. Join us on Sing For Joy as we hear music for these words of grace.
