In these times of coronavirus, watch our reflections on our YouTube channel posted to our Martin Luther Church Toronto page, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzngK_Gp6u0gL_7sRu7bwlQ/
Our midweek Lenten services, together with our neighbouring churches, begin on Thursday March 5, 2020 for five Thursdays with the theme “Lead me to the cross”.
How does the cross appear in our daily lives? Strolling through the city we experience crosses at every turn. We might notice them, but often we miss them. Lent brings us slowly to the cross and with our time together each Thursday we will look to the cross. Slowly, prayerfully together, we will explore the world around us for the cross. Lent is a time to pause, look to the cross, see and feel His hand at work in our lives and in creation. Five pictures taken in Mimico will guide us through this Lenten season as we draw closer to the cross.
