Jonah…for Lent? Sounds fishy, but it’s a natural fit. When the Jews asked Jesus for a sign, He said, “I will give you only the sign of Jonah.” After three days in the belly of the earth, Jesus rose with news of God’s prodigal grace. This series of Wednesday services for Lent (starting Ash Wednesday, February 17th) explores the meaning of “The Sign of Jonah” as we follow Jonah on his journey…and Jesus on His way to the cross.
