Season of Lent
The Journey of Lent: Reflecting on the Lord’s Prayer
This year the journey of Lent is guided by the Lord’s Prayer, specifically Martin Luther’s reflections on the prayer from the Small Catechism. A Lenten devotional, grounded in daily prayers written by members of the congregation, will be available in print and will be emailed each day during the Lenten season.
Each week in the season of Lent we will reflect on a specific petition or two from the Lord’s Prayer during the Lenten midweek worship at noon and the evening Bible study at 6 p.m. The study is offered in person or on Zoom. Prayer stations will also be available on the weekends around worship, as well as before or after the midweek noon worship service.
Lenten Midweek Worship
Wednesdays, March 5 – April 9 at Noon
Plan to worship in person or online. If in person, a soup and salad lunch follows at 12:30 p.m. The reposted services will be available on our YouTube channel.

Lenten Daily Devotional
This year our Lenten journey will be guided by the Lord’s Prayer. We will slow down and reflect on specific petitions of the Lord’s Prayer each day, supported with prayers written by members of the congregation. A print version of the Lenten Devotional is available for pick up today at the Welcome Desk. A daily Lenten EDevotional will arrive every morning during the season of Lent, beginning on Ash Wednesday, March 5. Thank you to the members who were able to write a prayer or two for our shared faith journey. What a gift that we journey together in prayer, once again, this Lenten season.

“The Lord’s Prayer”
The Lord’s Prayer is our guide for the 40-day journey of Lent that leads to the cross and empty tomb. Join your pastors for a time to slow down and reflect on the specific petitions of the Lord’s Prayer. Jesus taught us to pray. With each moment in the Lord’s Prayer, we are grounded in God’s love and shaped for lives as people of faith. The Zoom link and study guide are available here:
