Transfiguration Sunday: What's Next? 

What kind of life experiences do we hang on to? How do they influence us? What happens afterward?

These questions and more, based on Matthew 17:1-9.

"Remember You Are Dust..."
Ash Wednesday
March 1, 7pm



As we mark the beginning of Lent, we'll gather to worship, receive the imposition of Ashes, and celebrate Holy Communion.

Moment for Reflection- "Giving It Up"
This coming Sunday is the Transfiguration of Our Lord, which always marks the end of the Season after Epiphany in the life of our church year. Three days later, Lent begins with Ash Wednesday.

Often, Transfiguration Sunday worship is filled with "alleluias!" because tradition holds that during Lent we do not use the "a word" as a marker of the penitential nature of the season. So, Transfiguration Sunday is the day to get as many "alleluias" out as possible!

In a way, we give up alleluia for Lent, in the same way many people give up things like chocolate, junk food, or alcohol.

This year, during Lent we're going to be exploring the notion of "giving it up" in a different way through a sermon series called (believe it or not) "Giving it Up: 40 Days and Forever". We'll explore giving up things like expectations, superiority, control, and more!

I look forward to this Lenten season, and I give praise to God for each and every one of you.   

God's peace be with you always.
