Lent is here

Now begins the solemn season of Lent. Beginning on Ash Wednesday, March 5th, Lent is the season that leads us to Easter on April 20th. 

Lent begins with the imposition of Ashes. Our Ash Wednesday service is at 7:00 p.m., and includes a brief communion service.

Our Sunday morning worship is at 10:00 a.m. throughout Lent.

As part of our Lenten journey, we are offering two educational opportunities for people of all ages. On the Sunday mornings of Lent, we will gather at 9:00 a.m. in the fellowship hall with our children and any interested adults to do an art project that is Scripture-based and focused on Lent and the cross.

On Sunday afternoons from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m., we will have a bible study for adults and confirmation students, and the focus will be on the Sunday readings of Lent. These are rich readings that lead us to recall our baptism, tracing the history of our relationship with God in Christ. Please join us!

On the Wednesdays of Lent, please join us for a regional Lutheran gathering at First Lutheran Church, 132 Auburn Street, Portland. We begin with a soup supper at 6:00 p.m., followed by an evening prayer service at 7:00 p.m. 

Holy Week begins on Sunday, April 13th with Palm Sunday worship at 10:00 a.m.
