This Lenten Season you will find tables in both the Atrium and Narthex with Lenten resources, including Devotional Cards for daily use, as well as a “Lenten Passport” full of all the opportunities at First Baptist for individuals and families this Lent. Please pick up your copies of these materials, meant to encourage us on the journey we share toward celebrating the resurrection of our Lord.
Below is more information to help you collect stamps for your Lenten Passport. If you have any questions, reach out to Courtney Willis (courtney@fbcgso.org)
