John - The testament of faith-grounded action helps us take heart this Lent

Lent calls us to journey intentionally as we prepare to celebrate the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus. There's nothing quite like the witness of people grounded in their faith as they work for justice to inspire us along that Lenten journey. From testifying against inhumane policies, to promoting the dignity of migrating children through literature, to seeing youth lean into their faith in their care for our common home, this email is densely packed with uplifting stories.
