The Lenten season invites followers of Jesus into reflection, repentance, and renewal. In a time when polarization so often shapes our relationships, neighborhoods, and even our churches, Lent offers a sacred opportunity to return to the way of peace. Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers” (Matt 5:9), calling His people to embody reconciliation in a divided world.
Join us as we host Matthew 5:9 Fellowship (www.mathew59.org) for a special Lenten gathering on Christian peacemaking. Through a series of interactive workshops, participants will explore how to faithfully engage polarization, transcend toxic division, and cultivate meaningful dialogue with neighbors and fellow believers. Together we’ll discover what it means to walk the path of peace during this holy season.
