- **Event Description**: “Let My Body Feel the Weight of Love and Grief”
 John 12:1–8 | Anointing at Bethany
Rev. Robin Bartlett preaching

Lent begins in the wilderness—but not a quiet one. The wilderness Jesus enters is occupied territory. Rome rules through fear. Herod governs through violence. And yet, the Gospels tell us something astonishing: this is exactly when the Kingdom of Heaven begins to take root. Not after the empire falls. Not when safety is guaranteed. But then.

This Lent, Braving the Wilderness is not a metaphor. It is a testimony.
