It’s Lent, and we’re thinking about what it means to come face to face with our own dust, our own humanity. Together we’ll have the opportunity to learn and talk with each other about critical issues every human must confront.

In addition to opportunities to learn, we’ll have access to resources like legal documents, advanced care planning forms, the services of a notary, resources for writing and executing final wishes and a last will and testament, along with much more.
