📖 This Week's Story

Our Lenten journey is almost complete! Next week is the most important week of the year — Megali Evdomada (Holy Week). Let's remember what we learned: The Prodigal Son taught us about God's endless forgiveness. The Good Samaritan showed us that everyone is our neighbor. The Sower taught us to keep our hearts open to God's word. We practiced prayer, giving, and growing. Now we're ready for the greatest story ever told — what happened during Jesus's last week on earth. Get ready for an incredible journey!
