'Get up and do not be afraid' brothers and sisters in Christ!

This Sunday at 10:30PM is a festival symbolizing the shift from the Advent-Christmas-Epiphany cycle to Lent-Easter, highlighting Jesus as God's beloved Son.

As Ash Wednesday approaches, we would love to invite you to our Imposition of Ashes Service at 7PM in our Chapel. This service ignites us as embark on a forty-day journey leading to Easter, a period characterized by fasting and repentance. The ashes placed on our foreheads serve as a reminder of our mortality and symbolize the cross from our baptism.

Throughout Lent we invite you to our Worship Services on Wednesdays at 5:15PM in our Chapel. During this time we deepen our connection with God, recognizing our reconciliation through Christ and striving for a purified heart. By reflecting on our baptismal calling, we aspire to embody mercy and justice in the world.

Thanks be to God!

In the waters of the Jordan, Jesus is unveiled as God's cherished Son, embodying righteousness and taking on the role of a servant to deliver justice and light to all nations. Through baptism, we experience purification, receive the anointing of the Spirit, and are recognized as God's beloved children, entrusted with the mission of spreading good news to the oppressed and those in need of healing.

Join us this Sunday at 10:30AM to celebrate the baptism of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
