What if the wilderness is not something to escape, but a place God uses to reshape us?

This Lent at New City Covenant Church, we are entering a season called Into the Wilderness, a shared journey shaped by surrender, testing, and grace. Lent slows us down and asks honest questions about what we rely on, what we hunger for, and who we are becoming. Week by week, we will listen to the Biblical story as God forms us by exploring themes of daily dependence, lament, costly discipleship, and resilient hope. Along the way, we will discover that the wilderness is not a sign of failure or abandonment, but a place where God meets us with truth, mercy, and new life. Join us this Lent as we step intentionally into the wilderness, making space for repentance, renewal, and a deeper trust in the God who reshapes us before leading us toward resurrection.
