From stories of faith to breakfast, there is a lot of “home cooking” involved with the annual Lenten breakfasts sponsored by the Pettis County Ministerial Alliance.
This year’s series of morning devotionals and meals begins Wednesday — which is Ash Wednesday — at Immanuel United Church of Christ, 418 W. Fourth St. The series continues each Wednesday until Easter.
