Working together to provide “Homes Filled with Hope” throughout our community
LENTEN SEASON
Lent is the 40 days (not including Sundays) before Easter, a time of disciplined preparation for the proclamation of all that happened and what was done for us in Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. Lent is a special time for us to diligently discipline ourselves and persistently pursue our relationship with Christ, especially this year with a pandemic and many other uncertainties in life. In our Lenten journey, what will we add, what will we set aside, and what will we do to deepen our faith and relationship with Jesus? This Lent may we experience even more spiritual blessings and be a blessing to others.
In our Lenten journey, what have we added, what have we set aside, and what have we been doing to deepen our faith and relationship with Jesus?
ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE
Ash Wednesday, February 14, 2024 at 7pm. Our Ash Wednesday worship service will be in person only.
HOLY WEEK SERVICES
Palm/Passion Sunday, March 24. Contemporary worship at 9:00 a.m. and Traditional worship at 11:00 a.m. Both services will be livestreamed.
Maundy Thursday, March 28. A worship service will be held in the Sanctuary at 7:00 p.m. Communion will be celebrated.
The word Maundy comes from the Latin, mandatum, (mandate), which means commandment. At the Last Supper Jesus said, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another.” Also, at the Last Supper Jesus instituted the sacrament of “The Lord’s Supper,” (Communion), by saying, “Do this in remembrance of me.”
Good Friday, March 29. A worship service will be held in the Sanctuary at 7:00 p.m.
Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus. The word “good” is used to show how good it was that Jesus died to save us from our sin and separation from God. How good it is to have Jesus as our Savior.
Easter Morning, March 31. Contemporary worship at 9:00 a.m. and Traditional worship at 11:00 a.m. The 9:00 service will be livestreamed.
This day we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus from the dead in victory over sin, death, and Satan. The Resurrection is a core Christian belief about which we can be certain, and as Peter wrote, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”
All of our Lenten/Easter services will be available on our Sermons Page.
