Plan to Attend the Lenten Midweek Series based on the Hymn:

"Words of Life from the Cross"

Each week beginning February 17th we will have a carry-in dinner beginning at 6:00 PM.  Each family is asked to bring a main dish and a dessert or salad.

Lenten Services will follow at 7:00 PM.  There will be no carry-in dinner on Maundy Thursday or Good Friday.  Please join together with your fellow Lutheran believers and our guests as we meditate upon the Passion of our Lord, Jesus.

(Note: Throughout the season of Lent we observe some special worship practices. These are designed to teach us that "something is missing," making us conscious of our Lord's loss on our behalf.  There are no flowers on the altar and we omit the Alleluia, distribution hymns, and the Hymn of Praise during service.)
