From that time on, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and undergo great suffering at the hands of the elders, chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. (Matthew 16:21) The First Sunday in Lent sets before us the question of how we…

So many events take place at the church during the Christmas season that it is difficult to fit them all into a single image.
