Lenten Sermon Series (

The cross stands at the center of the Christian faith. Have you ever wondered why? What gives it power and meaning to Christians?

Scripture and tradition offer a variety of ways to understand its power and purpose. During Lent, St. Luke's United Methodist Church will explore what the cross means to Christians today and the difference it can make in a person's life.
