Our Lenten Outreach for Western Farm Workers Association starts this Sunday
Sunday, March 2nd- Easter Sunday, April 20th
Why do we do a Lenten Outreach donation drive? Because Jesus asks us to be generous with those in need. It’s one of the foundations of his public ministry: caring for others himself and asking his disciples to do so. During Lent you are called to give even more generously, to stretch yourself.
“In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.” ~Acts 20:35
