The service for the First Sunday in Lent (February 21, 2021). Have you ever wondered “Why me?” Maybe it was after a series of unfortunate events or something that just really overwhelmed you. Abraham was potentially overwhelmed with a test of faith as God asked him to sacrifice his son, Isaac. Yet, Abraham trusted God to get him through an unbearable request. And God did. God gave Abraham more than he could bear so that he dared not lean on himself, but stay totally committed to God. Thus, this shows how God is totally committed to saving us by laying on His beloved son, Jesus, all our sins. Jesus bore it all on the cross, so now we can look to His cross as our way of escape and enduring when troubles and testing of faith seem to overwhelm us.

The service for Ash Wednesday (Feb 17, 2021). We took precautions and did not have the imposition of ashes this year. But we do remember the curse of sin: Remember you are dust, and to dust you shall return (Gen 3:19).

This year we go through the book of Zechariah during Lent and Holy Week. We hear the Lord’s call to “return to me” … “and I will return to you.” For our Christian life, we daily must remember to put first things first with repentance and faith.

We hope to capture all our Lenten services and post them here and on Facebook when they are available. If you would like to assist with recording a service (it’s easy!), contact the church office.
