Join us as we learn how to surrender to Christ in faith this Lent. An obstacle to real growth in Christ is self-reliance. Surrender is the antidote to self-reliance.

This Lent, we’re going to willingly do hard things—things that stretch us, things that challenge us, things that we would rather avoid—to help us recognize our limitations.

That’s where God wants to meet us—in our weakness. 

One way we are doing this is by participating in Ascension’s new Lenten program, Crux, with Fr. Columba Jordan, CFR.  Crux helps you unite the physical and spiritual disciplines of fasting, exercise, Scripture reading, and a daily Examen into one transformative Lenten experience that will lead you closer to Christ.

CRUX Small Groups:
Each gathering will include a short video, discussion, a workout*, and prayer.  (*Participants should be comfortable with basic bodyweight, cardio, and core exercises.)

Please sign up for a small group in advance to reserve your CRUX devotional.  Devotionals are reserved for those participating in one of the above small groups or those desiring to run their own small group.  Devotionals will be available ahead of and on Ash Wednesday.  (Cost: $5.00)
