The Lent scriptures offer us many stories of Jesus encountering people who are seeking. In these stories, each person is seeking a new beginning, a different life, a deeper faith. What unfolds is an exchange filled with questions and exploration. Often, an unveiling occurs–assumptions are disrupted, a new perspective is revealed, mystery grows. So, we will be focusing our Lenten series on questions. Each week will have a question, but we won’t necessarily be looking for direct answers, but for clarity and a new perspective. The hope is that this will lead to a Lenten time that will bring a new beginning, a restoration, a wider grace. Something that the series will be encouraging us to think about throughout is: What am I seeking? What is God seeking?
With that in mind, in and outside of worship I will be including space for all of us to ask questions and seek answers. I am bringing that up now, because I want you to start thinking about what questions you might have about our faith, about God, about the Bible, about life! I may have answers for some of them, I may have educated guesses for others, and I may have no idea and need to look into it. Someone else might have an answer, might have a guess, or might know where to look. I hope we can explore our questions together and be blessed by digging deeper into our faith. But again, start thinking and collecting your questions!

There are a few ways you can engage in our Lent series. We have a daily devotional that will be sent week by week here in the Flocknote. Ask Mitzi or Pastor Kelsey if you would like a printed copy.  

Our friends at A Sanctified Art have also provided a special e-reader version of this year’s Lent devotional, which you can access on your computer and mobile devices: [To come]

During Lent there will  be daily posts on our church Facebook page that correspond with the devotional or other content for each week. It is a great place to engage with the Lent content from home, to interact with each other about the devotionals, or to easily share something meaningful that has stuck with you this week from the series. 

We are taking a break with Worship Wednesday through the holidays, but will come back in the new year! We will continue our schedule of every 4th Wednesday of the month, February 22nd. 

We always need help in the kitchen and would love someone else to lead the lesson!

If you can't help on the night, invite those with young kids to come! All are welcome to join us! 

We are hosting a gathering every first and third Thursdays of the month, 3-5pm in HUM Hall, to fellowship and craft together. Crafts or activities of any kind are welcome if you can bring them: Knit, Crochet, paper crafts, sewing, etc! (Or no craft at all!) Feel free to bring snacks, beverages, or just yourself! Come hang out with us!
