midweek services
During Lent and Advent, the penitential seasons of the Church Year that lead up to Easter and Christmas, it is our tradition to gather on Wednesdays for Vespers. Prior to these evening services of psalms, readings, and prayers, members of the congregation will often share a meal in the fellowship hall and join in small group Bible studies.
2023 Lenten series
The theme for this Lenten season, Promised Treasures, comes from Matthew 13:52, which reads: "And [Jesus] said to them, 'Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old'" (ESV).
While St. Paul clearly teaches that "faith comes from hearing" (Romans 10:17), the Gospel is also communicated through the physical senses of sight, smell, touch, and taste. Each week, we will reflect on some of the ways the Gospel is revealed to us by our senses through ashes, salt, water, light, bread, palms, blood, wood, fragrant oil, milk, and honey. The intent of this series is to help us as Christians recognize that God is nearer to His people than it's often realized.
