Lenten Midweek Meals and Worship

This year, our Lenten midweek services will take the theme of “For Us.” “For us” is not simply a pithy line to use because it is easy to repeat. It is a confession of who God is and what He brings in giving us His Son. It helps us understand why God would send His Son to die for us.

The phrase “for us” also captures much of the Reformation’s theological emphasis, and Luther’s understanding of Scripture in particular. Luther went from searching for a righteous God and finding only stern rebuke to seeing God in the form of a little baby and as the one who became one of us for us so that we might become like Him.

So, join us on Wednesdays in Lent for a meal at 6:00 PM and service at 7:00 PM.
