We are going to be trying something completely different this year. Lent is a season in the church where we are encouraged to commit ourselves more intentionally to spiritual disciplines, like prayer and Bible study. To help provide a way to do that this year, we are offering a Sermon+ Bible study. The way this works is each week, we will have a supplemental Bible study sheet to take with you. These Bible study sheets will follow up with the sermon and will contain additional information about the scripture, reflection questions for you to consider, and guided prayers to use. If you miss a Sunday or wish to go back over the message we will also be posting a weekly video with the Bible study sheet on our website and Facebook page.
