Ash Wednesday begins the penitential season of Lent. We remember why God sent His Son to suffer and die for our sins in our place. As the cross of ashes marks us, God's word to Adam in the Garden speaks to us, "for you are dust, and to dust you shall return" (Genesis 3:19 ESV).
Ash Wednesday worship: February 18 at 7 p.m.

You are warmly welcomed to join us for a meal of fellowship before each midweek Lenten worship service. Various congregational groups prepare and serve these soup and sandwich suppers. We hope to see you!
Suppers are held each
Wednesday at 6 p.m. during the season of Lent:

Palm Sunday commemorates the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. This event is mentioned in each of the four Gospels. The waving of palm branches honored Jesus as he was welcomed by the crowds of people lining the streets. We also welcome Jesus in our hearts and with song as He enters this Holy Week to fulfill God's plan of salvation for us.
Palm Sunday worship:
March 29 at 10:30 a.m.

Maundy Thursday is the day when Jesus celebrated His final Passover with His disciples. He washed His disciples' feet and instituted the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Maundy is the Latin word for command. Jesus said, "A new commandment I give you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another" (John 13:34 ESV).
Maundy Thursday worship:
April 2 at 7 p.m.

This Friday is called good because it is the most impactful, holy day in all of history. Jesus declared from the cross that His work of salvation was complete. As we worship, we mourn the death of Christ while looking toward the promised Resurrection.
Good Friday worship:
April 3 at 7 p.m.

At early dawn on the first day of the week after Jesus' death by crucifixion, women went to His tomb to anoint His body with spices. The stone was rolled away.
The tomb was empty.
He is risen! Alleluia!
