Lenten series on living an authentic life
Sundays at 10:45 a.m. beginning March 5
Juliet Kuehnle, a Covenant member and professional counselor, will lead A Lenten Journey: The Dance of Dark and Light, a five-week class on living an authentic life.

Juliet says, "I've had many conversations with people about how our society tends to have an "I'm fine!" culture when, in reality, we all experience normal discomfort, setbacks and struggles. My hope is to help us see the value in being vulnerable and honest. Once we learn how to do this with ourselves and others, we can live more fully."
