🙏 Palm Sunday – This Morning at 10:30 AM 🙏
Holy Week Begins: “The King Comes in Humility”

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Lent draws to a close as we gather today to welcome our King! Jesus enters Jerusalem not with royal splendor, but in lowliness and humility—riding on a donkey, fulfilling Zechariah’s prophecy (Zechariah 9:9-10). To the eyes of faith He is recognized as the Lord who brings peace between God and man through His suffering, death, and resurrection.

Sermon: Philippians 2:5-11 – “It Just Doesn’t Seem Fair!”
Hymns: 412, 306 (Psalm 24), 411, 413, 524

Come join us as we begin Holy Week, hearing the saving Word and receiving the means of grace that prepare our hearts for the Savior’s journey to the cross.

🕯️ Fifth Midweek Lenten Service – Tonight at 7:00 PM 🕯️
“Crowing Rooster” (Luke 22:60-62) – The piercing sound of the rooster crowing as Peter denies knowing Jesus three times, reminding us of our own denials of the Savior through fear, doubt, or sin—yet also of Christ's restoring grace.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Join us this evening as we continue our Lenten series *Sounds of the Passion*. God's Word confronts us with Peter's bitter tears after his denial, exposing the weakness of our flesh and the depth of our need for repentance. But praise God for Jesus, who looked upon Peter with compassion, prayed for his faith, and later restored him fully—pointing us to the cross where our denials are forgiven and our faith is strengthened.

We’d love to see you in person—come early for the 6:00 PM potluck (bring a favorite dish to share) and enjoy warm Christian fellowship. If circumstances make in-person attendance difficult, you’re warmly invited to join online.

🙏 Fourth Sunday in Lent – This Morning at 10:30 AM 🙏
“I Can See!”

Today we worship with the powerful picture of light and sight (faith) versus darkness and blindness (unbelief). In the Gospel (John 9), Jesus heals a man born blind and opens our eyes to see Him as the true Light of the World. The Servant in Isaiah turns darkness into light, and Paul reminds us in Ephesians 5 that God has made us children of light through Christ’s grace.

Sermon: “What Can We See with the Eyes of Jesus?”

Come receive the means of grace in Word and Sacrament as we proclaim the Savior who gives sight to the spiritually blind and leads us from darkness into His marvelous light.

🕯️ Fourth Midweek Lenten Service – Tonight at 7:00 PM 🕯️
“Tramping Feet” (John 18:1-6) – The heavy footsteps of soldiers and the temple guard coming to arrest Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane.

🙏 Third Sunday in Lent – This Morning at 10:30 AM 🙏

Join us today as we hear how Jesus reaches out with salvation for all people, even crossing cultural barriers to offer living water to a Samaritan woman (John 4:5-26). From the wilderness thirst in Exodus 17:1-7 to the peace we have through Christ's justification in Romans 5:1-8, God's Word reminds us of His enduring love that pours out forgiveness when we were still sinners.

🕯️ Third Midweek Lenten Service – Tonight at 7:00 PM 🕯️

“Crying Tears” (John 11:35-36) – The sound of sorrow as Jesus weeps at Lazarus' tomb, revealing His deep compassion for us in our grief and sin, while pointing to the joy of His resurrection victory over death.

Join us this evening as we continue our Lenten series, Sounds of the Passion. God's Word shows us the Savior's tender heart, moved to tears by the effects of sin on those He loves.

🕯️ **Second Midweek Lenten Service – Tonight at 7:00 PM** 🕯️

“Clinking Coins” (Matthew 26:14-16) – The sound of betrayal echoes through the ages, as Judas sells out the Savior for thirty pieces of silver. Yet in this treachery, we see the depth of our own sin and the infinite grace of Christ who willingly paid the ultimate price for our redemption.

Join us this evening as we continue our Lenten series, *Sounds of the Passion*. God's Word exposes the greed and betrayal in Judas' heart, urging us to examine our own idols that might lead us to "sell out" our Lord. Yet thanks be to God for Jesus Christ, who endured betrayal for us, securing our forgiveness and renewal through His cross and resurrection!

We’d love to see you in person—come early for the 6:00 PM potluck (bring a favorite dish to share) and enjoy Christian fellowship. If circumstances prevent it, you’re warmly invited to join online; the means of grace are powerful through His proclaimed Word.

🙏 First Sunday in Lent – Sunday Morning (02/22) at 10:30 AM 🙏

Jesus Victorious Over Temptation

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

As we enter the holy season of Lent, we are comforted by the Gospel account of our Savior Jesus Christ being led into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil for forty days (Matthew 4:1-11). Where the first Adam fell and we daily stumble into sin, the second Adam stood firm—overcoming every temptation with the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God. His perfect victory is credited to us by faith!

Come hear this powerful Word proclaimed, receive the comfort of His absolution, and be strengthened for your own battles against the devil, the world, and our sinful flesh as we journey with Jesus to the cross.
