The Season of Lent
It is so easy to get caught up in our lives and to lose sight of all that God is doing for us everyday. That's a recipe for disaster because one day we won't be able to handle it all and then we won't know what to do. But there is great news. No matter how many times we have turned our backs on God He is still at work all around us.
From ancient times the season of Lent has been kept as a special time to actively turn away from all of those things and return to the Lord. A time to become aware of just how broken we are and how much we need God. It is a special time of devotion, self-denial, and humble repentance born of a faithful heart that dwells confidently on God's Word and draws from it life and hope.
As a community of believers we will spend extra time in God's Word by offering Wednesday evening worship services. By God's grace this special focus and time in God's Word will prepare our hearts so that we can appreciate all that Jesus accomplished for us in his death and resurrection.

O God, You desire not the death of sinners, but rather that they turn from their wickedness and live. We implore You to have compassion on the frailty of our mortal nature, for we acknowledge that we are dust and to dust we shall return. Mercifully pardon our sins that we may obtain the promises You have laid up for those who are repentant; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
