Lent 2023: February 26 - April 9

Our Lenten scriptures offer us many stories of Jesus encountering people who are seeking: Nicodemus comes to him in the veil of night, he approaches a Samaritan woman at a well, he heals a man born without sight. In these stories, each person is seeking a new beginning, a different life, a deeper faith. What unfolds is an exchange filled with questions and exploration. Often, an unveiling occurs—assumptions are disrupted, a new perspective is revealed, mystery grows.


And so, we’ve crafted a Lenten series founded on questions. Throughout the turbulence of the past few years, many of us are asking big questions about our lives and our faith. We hope this series will help us unpack some of those big questions in ways that are honest and faithful. 


Throughout this season, we hope you will continually ask yourself: what am I seeking? What is God seeking? We encourage you to stay curious, open, and nimble. We hope you will soften your assumptions and expand your perspectives. We pray that these questions will create a safe space to explore—to be drawn more deeply into the fullness of life, into the heart of God.


God
Is

A Word of Welcome

Walking through our backdoors, you’ll feel our warmth and joy. We live what we believe: God is love.

 

We are people of all ages, and together we form friendships that nurture our trust in God. Children skip and play around the feet of folks who have worshiped at our church for over fifty years. People new to the area quickly feel at home. We love supporting one another through life's ups and downs, and we love having fun. 


Come visit us. We’d love to serve, learn, and worship beside you.

 

Grace and Peace,

Pastor Sarah
