The season of Lent is observed in the 40 days leading up to Holy Week. Christian denominations count the days in different ways. But typically, Lent stretches from Ash Wednesday into the Holy Week encompassing Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday.

Reading daily the Gospel of Mark together with the TUC congregation and praying with the reflections of TUC members is one way we can observe Lent. Included in this year’s devotional is an optional reading of the award-winning “Pachinko” written by TUC alum Min Jin Lee. We’re blessed to host her for a conversation this Palm Sunday. Her poignant novel is about the resilient faith of 20th-century Korean Christians who migrate to Japan. You can view a preview discussion session from our Adult Christian Education program here.
