This Lent, we walk with Jesus through the defining choices that shaped his journey to the cross — choices of trust, compassion, courage, and love. Each week invites us to reflect on the moments that matter in our own lives, where discernment meets decision and faith takes form. We’ll discover how following Christ’s way transforms the choices we make and the lives we lead. Lenten Daily Devotionals are available as a printed booklet at the church starting Wednesday, February 11, while supplies last.  

Starting February 25 at 6:30 p.m. in Fellowship Hall
This Lent, step into a Lenten Life Group, meeting for five weeks beginning February 25, and join others in an engaged, thoughtful exploration of faith. Together, we will explore the theme Moments that Matter, engaging scripture and weekly reflections as we consider how small, faithful choices shape a life of discipleship. These groups are built for lively conversation, shared discovery, and learning together as we wrestle with the questions that shape our lives. Life Groups are a place to bring curiosity, listen deeply, and be stretched by perspectives beyond your own. No preparation is required, just a willingness to show up and engage.

March 11, 18, 25 at 6:30 p.m. in Fellowship Hall Room 203 or watch on Zoom
A three-week series exploring contemporary spiritual questions through the rich and compelling tradition of the mystery novel.  Each session will be led by the Rev. Michael Lindvall, co-author of the Ludington–van der Berg mystery series, who will guide conversation at the intersection of storytelling, theology, and everyday life. Participants are encouraged—but not required—to read Ashes to Ashes, the first novel in the series.

Everyone is welcome. No experience necessary.
Step away from the noise of daily life and enter sacred silence as we practice opening ourselves to God, trust, and deeper communion with Him this Lenten season.

Centering Prayer is a simple, silent Christian prayer practice that invites you to rest in God’s presence beyond words and thoughts. Rooted in ancient monastic tradition, it uses quiet stillness and a sacred word to deepen your relationship with Christ and cultivate inner peace. For more information, contact our Parish Nurse, Karen Willis.
