2012 LENTEN SERMON SERIES

You may recall that last year during the Lenten season our Sunday sermons explored the final 24 hours of Jesus’ life on earth. Pastor Heather offered those insightful Lenten messages based on Pastor Adam Hamilton’s book entitled 24 Hours that Changed the World.

This year during the Lenten season, she will once again be using a book by Adam Hamilton to guide our sermons. This year we will be exploring the final statements spoken by Jesus as he hung on the cross. These Lenten sermons will be based on Adam’s more recent book entitled Final Words from the Cross.

In life and in death, Jesus’ words were powerful and meaningful. Despite the serious effort and increased pain required for Jesus to speak as he hung on the cross, Jesus spoke seven “final words”—statements that have much to teach us about Jesus, his Father, and ourselves: 

Each sermon will consider Jesus’ final words as heard through the ears of those who stood near the foot of the cross. We will also explore the meaning of Jesus’ dying words for our lives today.

We hope you will make plans to be present in worship for each Sunday of Lent:

1^st Sunday of Lent February 26^{th “} Father Forgive Them”

2^nd Sunday of Lent March 4^{th “} Behold your Son … Behold Your Mother”

3^rd Sunday of Lent March 11^{th “} My God, Why Have You Forsaken me?”

4^th Sunday of Lent March 18^{th “} Today You Will Be With Me in Paradise”

5^th Sunday of Lent March 25^{th “} I Thirst”

Palm Sunday April 1^{st “} Into Your Hands I Commit My Spirit”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our church will be offering weekly opportunities for parishioners to take Holy Communion throughout the season of Lent which begins on Ash Wednesday (February 22^nd) and runs through Holy Saturday (April 7^th).  Immediately following worship each Sunday of Lent, you are invited to come to the altar of the Lord and receive the meal that nourishes your soul.  Each gathering will only last about 15 minutes, but it will offer you an invaluable opportunity to connect with your Savior during this holiest of seasons.

Sunday Morning After Worship Communion Available On:  Feb. 26, Mar. 4, Mar. 11, Mar. 18,

        Mar. 25, and April 1.
