This month we begin the season of Lent AND a new Sunday worship time on February 22nd.  We will be blending our traditional 9 am with our 11 am  contemporary service for ONE 10 am worship experience.  Both the Chancel Choir and Rise  Band will be offering music ministry, much like what our 5th Sunday services have offered in the past.  We will have the Sacrament of Holy Communion on the first Saturday and Sunday of the month.

On Wednesday, February 18th the season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday.  Our Lenten series is entitled “The Way,” utilizing the movie by the same name as the jumping off point.  Marcia McFee of Worship Design Studio writes: “Lent is a time of reflection, and there’s nothing like a pilgrimage to conjure that up.  Making intentional journeys has been a ritual of humankind across time and traditions.  Inspired by passages in the Judeo-Christian scriptures that talk about the journeys, roads, and pathways of life, we will make our way together through this season.  The popular and poignant movie, The Way, about a father’s pilgrimage in honor of his late son on the famed Camino de Santiago in France and Spain, accompanies us as our modern-day inspiration to live the life we’ve been given to the fullest.”

In order to get the most out of the series, I hope you will join me on Friday, February 13th at 7 pm in the sanctuary for a viewing of the movie as a way to lay the foundation for the Lenten season.  If you cannot make it that night, the movie is available on multiple streaming platforms.  Popcorn and water will be provided!  Following the movie, we will have a short conversation about the themes touched on in the film.

Stay warm and I hope to see you soon!
