Pastoral Message

Dear Flock,

Our Lenten journey starts this year on Ash Wednesday, March 5th. At 7:00 that night, we’ll have a penitential service of Holy Communion and the Imposition of Ashes.

Then, our Lenten Midweek series on Wednesdays will start on March 12th with services at noon. As we’ve done in the past, if you’d like to go to lunch with a group after the service, you’re welcome. Bible Study will be moved to 11:00.

Our series this year is one that is being offered by our Northern Illinois Synod called, Turning Toward God’s Abundance. The sub-themes are Faithfulness (3/12), Mercy (3/19), Compassion (3/26), Forgiveness (4/2), Love (4/9).

Lenten midweek services offer a chance to think a little more deeply about each of these themes and in a smaller group. I hope you’ll be able to join us.

Sincerely,
Pastor Dan

Our mission is to worship God, to serve others, to support one another,
and to invite all people to share in this Christian ministry.
