Wednesday Lenten Services

Walking with Jesus
Wednesday Night Community Meal, Worship, and Mission Speakers
6:00 P.M. TO 7:30 P.M.

To Walk with Jesus is to take up our cross as Christian disciples in service to others and the world and follow Christ's command to love one another. In the midst of suffering and brokenness, Christ comes to bring God's healing, reconciliation and hope. The Stations of the Cross will be our guide this Lent, as a sign of God's walking with us as we dare be in mission to a suffering world, and to live a new world based on sharing, love and finally, resurrection!
