Join Us For Lent 2025
Let Your Faith Be Stronger Than Your Fear
“Bad cannot succeed even in being bad as truly as good is good.”
- C.S .Lewis in The Great Divorce
Lent is a season of preparation, it is the way that the Christian prepares their souls for gift of Easter. This season is marked by practices that help us focus our attention on the holy that is around us, on the good that God is. Fear is powerful and yet the story of Jesus is the story of faith, the trust we have in God who is love, to make all things well in the end.
This Lent join us as we seek to make our faith stronger, through worship, service, and community. We will offer 40 days of Bible study with our pastors, a daily opportunity to join others in hearing the ancient story in new ways, we will have an opportunity to learn about hope through C.S. Lewis The Great Divorce, a short novella about a group of people who take a journey from hell to heaven. These community and learning opportunities will be grounded by weekly worship where we will proclaim good news and hear words about Faith, Fear, Heaven, Hell, and Hope.
Join us in this journey!
Ash Wednesday March 5
Noon & 6:30pm
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of our journey to Easter. This day we remember our own humanity and our need for God through the imposition of ashes. There will be two
opportunities to receive ashes. Stop by between Noon-1:00pm to receive your ashes in the Sanctuary (casual, drop-in)
Ash Wednesday Worship, 6:30pm in the Sanctuary
