Lenten Reflections with Pastor Heidi and Pastor Eric

In the spirit of deepening our spirituality in relationship with one another, Pr. Heidi and Pr. Eric pose some questions to one another in a video series for the 5 weeks of Lent. Each Tuesday evening in Lent, a video link will be released on Facebook. The very short videos are meant to foster thought and maybe even some conversations of your own.
