We will celebrate Easter on Sunday, April 1st. As we approach this season of personal reflection & preparation called the “Season of Lent,” I encourage
you to begin thinking of the tremendous sacrifice offered to us through the death & resurrection of
Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son.
Drawing from Christ’s prayer in Gethsemane, “Thy will be done,” these devotions reflect on the idea
of seeking God’s will in all aspects of our lives, especially during Lent, in terms of identity, our dreams
for the future, our worldview & our response to Christ the Crucified. -Ted Schroeder
To help guide us through this time, Devotions for Lent,
Thy Will be Done will be available on February 4th & 11th.
You will find them on one of the three information tables at the church.
Rev. Jerry French
