Fifth Sunday After Epiphany

"Fill My Future with Vision"

Six Stone Jars Part 5

21625 Sermon Title.jpg

He came down with them and stood on a level place with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea, Jerusalem, and the coast of Tyre and Sidon. They had come to hear him and healed of their diseases, and those troubled with unclean spirits were cured. And everyone in the crowd was trying to touch him, for power came out from him and healed all of them. Then he looked up at his disciples and said: "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God." Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled… "Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry. "Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and weep."

Holy God,

Join Us this Lenten Season

Ash Wednesday, March 5 | 12:15 p.m. & 5:30 p.m. | Chapel

Our Lenten Season begins on Ash Wednesday, March 5. Our worship theme this season is “Purveyors of Awe.” To be a “Purveyor of Awe” means to be intentional about curating a life of spiritual depth. This has implications not only for one’s own life but also as motivation to tend to the well-being of others. Let us approach this Lent with awe: “a feeling of reverential respect mixed with wonder, inspired by the sacred or sublime.”

We will have two opportunities for Ash Wednesday worship.

  • Traditional service with the imposition of ashes | Chapel | 12:15 p.m.

  •  Family-friendly meal & Interactive service with the imposition of ashes | FR Room/Chapel | 5:30 p.m.

 

The service will conclude by 6:30, but worship leaders will remain until 7:00 for any who want to enjoy some moments of contemplation, prayer, and the imposition of ashes.
