join us on this lenten journey
I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. — Isaiah 43:19
Lent is a time of reflection, and there’s nothing like a pilgrimage to conjure that up. Making intentional journeys has been a ritual of humankind across time and traditions. Inspired by passages in the scriptures that talk about the journeys, roads, and pathways of life, we will make our way together through this season.
Holy Week Experience
Wednesday, March 25
5:00PM
Because we know many of our families will be traveling for Spring Break, which falls during Holy Week this year, we will have an early Holy Week Experience on Wednesday, March 25 at 5:00PM. Come join us!
All are invited to the Sanctuary to experience the celebration of the triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the humility and servanthood of Maundy Thursday, and agony of the cross on Good Friday in a one hour service created especially for families. The children’s music ministry will help to lead us on this experiential journey as we wave palms, wash hands, receive communion, and end at the foot of the draped cross. All are welcome!
