We gather on the Fifth Sunday in Lent at 10am for worship Our God makes all things new. In the first reading God promises it. In the gospel Mary anticipates it, anointing Jesus’ feet with costly perfume in preparation for the day of his burial. In the second reading Paul recalls his transformation from the persecutor Saul into an apostle....

We gather on the Fourth Sunday in Lent at 10am for worship The psalm sets the tone this day: “Happy are they whose transgressions are forgiven, and whose sin is put away!” Happy are those who have “become the righteousness of God” in the merits of Christ Jesus. Happy are those for whom the forgiveness of God has “rolled away ....

We gather on the Third Sunday in Lent at 10am for worship The warnings are plentiful and blunt on the third Sunday in Lent. Cut it out or get cut down! The warnings are accompanied by God’s invitation to attentiveness; “Incline your ear, and come to me; listen so that you may live.” The landowner’s ultimatum is forestalled by the gardener’s readiness to till the ground one more year. ...

We gather on the Second Sunday in Lent at 10am for worship Though we sometimes doubt and often resist God’s desire to protect and save us, our God persists. In holy baptism, God’s people have been called and gathered into a God initiated relationship that will endure. Lent provides the church with a time and a tradition in which to seek God’s face again....

Daylight Savings begins: Spring forward! We gather on the First Sunday in Lent at 10am for worship These forty days called Lent are like no other. It is our opportune time to return to the God who rescues, to receive the gifts of God’s grace, to believe with the heart and confess with the mouth the wonder of God’s love in Jesus, and to resist temptation at every turn. ...

We gather on ASH WEDNESDAY at 11 am & 7 pm for worship On Ash Wednesday we begin our forty-day journey toward Easter with a day of fasting and repentance. Marking our foreheads with dust, we acknowledge that we die and return to the earth. At the same time, the dust traces the life-giving cross indelibly marked on our foreheads at baptism While we journey through Lent to return to God, we have already been reconciled to God through Christ....
