Opportunities for Lent

Most people think of the soul as a nebulous part of them that is mysteriously internal to them. The Bible, however, often uses to the word “soul” to describe the whole of who we are. The soul is what holds us together. When God created the first man, who became a “living being,” the Hebrew word behind this phrase in the book of Genesis is the word for “soul.” When any part of us is off – be it our emotions, our bodies, or our minds – our souls are off. Join us on Sundays

Imagine that a friend or family member who is unfamiliar with the Christian faith asks you to summarize the gospel. What would you say? The Apostle Peter calls us to be prepared always to give a reason for the hope we have as Christians (1 Peter 3:15). As followers of Jesus we have the best news in the world to share. But are we prepared to share it? During this season of Lent, we’re going to work together to formulate faithful Christian confessions of the gospel; the kind that could be said in about seven words. We’ll use a format that will allow us to enter into a creative dialogue in a Bible Study / Devotion setting after enjoying a meal together. Come join in the fellowship and conversation on Wednesday Evenings

I am looking forward to exploring these topics with you, and to sharing our Lenten Family Dinners together. You can learn more about the Dinner and Devotions menu below. May God use these opportunities to enrich your experience of Lent this year as we prepare our hearts to celebrate our Lord’s death and Resurrection this Holy Week and Easter.

Sharing the Good News of Jesus,

Pastor Augie
