HOLY WEEK | VISUAL ART Stations of the Cross: A Visual Journey By Sam Gutierrez

BAPTISM | COVENANT Practicing Baptism: Developing Personal Remembrances By Gary Brouwers
We receive God's promises in our baptism…but too often we leave this sacrament in the past. We struggle to experience our own baptisms in the present… As a result, the truths communicated in our baptisms can fade.
Lilly Endowment has announced its Exploring Christian Practices Initiative, which aims to multiply opportunities and increase access to settings that help individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds explore and engage in Christian practices to address their spiritual interests and questions, find and build community with others, nourish their religious lives and grow in faith.
In this open and competitive initiative, the Endowment invites charitable organizations to submit proposals for grants of up to $2.5 million each that may be used for up to a five-year period.
