Our Lent through Easter Message Series this year at King of Kings Dulles South is: All We Need
Ash Wednesday, March 5 at 7:00 PM – Sunday, April 20, at 10:00 AM
This Lenten season, amidst a polarized and divided culture, we will discuss something that is common amongst all of us. That is we are all in need. We are all dependent upon the world and one another. Therefore, we will discuss some of our various needs through our Lenten - Holy Week message series titled, All We Need. Each week, we will explore what Scripture reveals about our needs, personally and communally. Not every need will be obvious. Some will go beyond Maslow’s famous hierarchy of needs. We will explore topics like our communal need for vulnerability, change, and beauty. Each weekly theme will help us to redefine and expand what we think of as needs. Some may be difficult to notice before the Spirit nudges us to consider how we are to practice them as God’s people. In addition, a daily devotional guide will be available on our social media with which to follow along throughout the week. I hope you will join us as we explore the intricate tapestry of human needs and discover the transformative power of Christ and community, in All We Need, together. All are welcome.

Lent Devotional Series: Witness at the Cross
