Lenten and Passion Week Services

Come join us for Supper and Service on Wednesday, April 6 and 13. We share a meal at 6:00 pm in the Fellowship Hall after which we gather in the church at 7:00 for service. On April 6, Pastor Archie will lead us as we learn about the Blind Man who Jesus healed. Pastor Penny’s message on April 13 will center on the Woman at the Well.

Our Passion Week services will begin on Palm Sunday, April 17, at 10:30 am. Come join those welcoming the King. Let us greet him with more than just palm branches and welcome him into our hearts.

Pastor Penny will prepare our Lenten Supper at 6:00 pm on Maundy Thursday. Following Jesus’ example of service to others, we have been serving up delicious meals to each other. Service to others was a central theme of Jesus’ message and as Christians we attempt to imitate his lead.

Good Friday will be observed with an ecumenical service at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church. Beginning at 12 noon, everyone from our churches and communities is invited to join us as we remember the great cost Christ willingly paid for our salvation.

In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock at night. And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. And so the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. — Luke 2:8-11 (NASV)
