The Second Sunday in Lent

February 28, 2021

"We invite everyone to share communion around God's altar. We strive to be a welcoming and relevant Christian community doing what matters through prayer, worship, teaching, outreach, fellowship, and service.

We will demonstrate the real life application of scripture, tradition, and reason by providing a safe place to respond to each other's needs, hurts, joys, and interests."

5 Questions for Lent - A New Lenten Series

We begin this new season of Lent with an opportunity to reset and begin again with God and ourselves, as well as the values and ideals that we espouse for our life.

We encourage you to join Father Scott for this 5- week Lenten series beginning Wednesday, February 24th at 6:30 pm. Each week Bishop Wright will give a brief recorded meditation to help guide our discussion during this season of sacrifice and self-examination.

Questions for each week are: 1) How to move closer to God? - Self-examination; 2) What to do when God is silent? - Faith; 3) What Does Love Look Like When Neighbor is Enemy? - Building Beloved Community; 4) Where do I stand in sinking sand? - Bearing witness; 5) Where are the directions to joy? - The crown of faith. Reflection guides for Bible study will be available to go along with each video.
