DELPHOS — The Delphos Ministerial Association is holding its Lenten Lunch Program on Thursdays through March 21 at Trinity United Methodist Church.

Lent is a time for prayerful reflection as many look to the cross in order to prepare hearts for the death and resurrection of Jesus. This year, the association will follow the theme “Facing the Cross.” Luke 9:51 says that when Jesus’ days drew near for Him to leave this earth, Jesus “set his face” to Jerusalem to encounter the pain of the cross on his flock’s behalf.
