Lent is a 40 day season where the people of God have historically prepared to celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus  through self-examination and repentance. This Lent, we're working through a series called "Encounters." When people encounter Jesus in the Bible, he brings what we might call a holy disruption - life can’t stay the same. Through the following "Jesus Encounters" in the Bible, we'll consider how we might be invited to respond to Jesus today.

2/22 - The Devil Encounters Jesus (Matt. 4)
3/1 - Nicodemus Encounters Jesus (John 3)
3/8 - The Woman at the Well Encounters Jesus (John 4)
3/15 - The Blind Man Encounters Jesus (John 9)
3/22 - Lazarus' Family Encounters Jesus (John 11)
