On Ash Wednesday, February 18 we entered the season of Lent. We gathered to hear these liturgical words: We begin this holy season by acknowledging our need for repentance and for God’s mercy. We are created to experience joy in communion with God, to love one another, and to live in harmony with creation. But our sinful rebellion separates us from God, our neighbors, and creation, so that we do not enjoy the life our creator intended. As disciples of Jesus, we are called to a discipline that contends against evil and resists whatever leads us away from love of God and neighbor.
I invite you, therefore, to the discipline of Lent - self-examination and repentance, prayer and fasting, sacrificial giving and works of love - strengthened by the gifts of word and sacrament.
Let us continue our journey through these forty days to the great Three Days of Jesus’ death and resurrection. Good Friday, Easter Vigil, and The Resurrection of Jesus.
Holy week services are:
Sunday, March 29 – Palm Sunday with procession of palms and the Passion Gospel from Matthew
Thursday, April 2 – Maundy Thursday with Pastor John’s Last Supper conversations
Friday, April 3 – Good Friday
with Pastor Sprang focused on standing at the food of the cross
Sunday April 5 – Easter – The Resurrection of our Lord
Breakfast at 9:00am and Festival Worship at 10:00 am.
Pastor David Sprang
