Ash Wednesday Worship Service,

February 17, 2010 - 7:00 p.m.

Our Lenten Worship Series will continue each Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. through March 24.   The series this year will be "Signs of Lent". 

Signs of Lent is a six week program for devotions and discussion utilizing a DVD and a series of discussion questions.  Each meeting will focus on a specific encounter between Jesus and one other biblical characters and a specific symbol is chosen to represent that encounter.  A breakdown of each week is described below: 

    Wednesday, Feb. 17  - Lent 1: Sand (Matthew 4:1-11) Jesus encounters profound solitude and self-denial in the wilderness.

    Wednesday, Feb. 24 - Lent 2: Wind (John 3:1-17) Nicodemus comes to Jesus to reflect on his own spiritual pilgrimage.

    Wednesday, March 3 - Lent 3: Water (John 4:5-42) Jesus asks a Samaritan woman for a drink of water and they are both transformed.

    Wednesday, March 10 - Lent 4: Earth (John 9:1-41) A blind man seeks healing and a whole community is shaken by the result.

    Wednesday, March 17 - Lent 5: Rock (John 11:1-45) The death of a friend challenges Jesus to put his own life in jeopardy.

    Wednesday, March 24 - Lent 6: Tree (Matthew 26:14-27:66) Judas becomes the instrument of Jesus’ betrayal and crucifixion.
