This weekend we celebrate the First Sunday of Lent with a procession to the cross, asking our brothers & sisters, the saints, to intercede for us and be with us on our Lenten journey. We take a nail from the cross and keep it with us as we pray, fast, serve others and learn to follow Christ more fully. This practice reminds us that our own sufferings are one with His as we return the nail on Good Friday, uniting ourselves to the redeeming cross. The greeters will have nail prayer cards at the doors of the church for your use.
