Our Forty Day Journey to the Cross & the Empty Tomb


Today, we begin the long forty day journey of following Jesus to the cross and the empty tomb. It's a journey we make every year but one that is always filled with new understandings and fresh perspectives on the meaning of Jesus' suffering, death, and resurrection.

To help us look at the big picture of how the church is here to help us walk this journey, here is a schedule of our services. Jesus is already on his way to Jerusalem. It's time for us to get up and follow him.

Lent Sermon Series – “An App for That”

The forty day season of lent is a time for us to more intentionally practice the spiritual disciplines of our faith. Like the iphone, there are numerous apps to help us grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ. For each Sunday in Lent, we will focus on an important spiritual app. Some of the apps might be more familiar to us than others. All of these apps can make a huge difference in our faith journey. Join us for worship.

Sunday, March 6 (Transfiguration Sunday) – “Finding Our Way Again”
Sunday, March 13 – “Fasting”
Sunday, March 20 – “Sabbath”
Sunday, March 27 – “Prayer
Sunday, April 3 – “Holy Communion”
Sunday, April 10 – “Christian Calendar”
Sunday, April 17 – “Pilgrimage”

Lenten Small Groups

For six weeks beginning the week of March 13, our church is offering ten small group options meeting at different times/days/locations. Each small group will discuss a spiritual discipline (app) from the previous Sunday worship. Contact the church office to sign up for a small group!
