Learning to be followers of Christ through His Word
Lenten services begin Wednesday, March 5th.
The season of Lent is a time for us to face together the brokenness of our lives and our world, and then turn that brokenness over to Christ so that we can be restored by Him through the cross.
March 5th - "Broken Hearts Restored" (Joel 2:12-14)
Our hearts are broken in sorrow over sin; Christ restores our hearts through his forgiveness.
March 12th - "Broken Vessel Restored" (Mark 14:1-9)
A broken vessel holds costly perfume; we are broken vessels restored when Christ pays the price for us on the cross.
March 19th - "Broken Trust Restored" (Matthew 26:14-25) Judas breaks his trust with Jesus by betraying Him; our broken trust is restored through the sacrifice of Christ.
March 26th - "Broken Bread Restored" (John 6:48-58) Bread is broken at the Last Supper; we are restored through the Bread of Life, Jesus.
April 2nd - "Broken Promises Restored" (Matthew 26:69-75) Peter's broken promises to never deny Jesus are restored by the surpassing love of Christ.

Disaster Relief: How Can You Help?
Prayer: Please pray for the ones affected by the tornadoes, floods, and storms that they receive God's grace for hope, comfort, and strength as they rebuild their lives. Pray that God reveals to us any unmet needs that He wants to provide through us.
Donations: We are involved with the Long-Term Care and Needs committee for the areas affected by the tornadoes, floods, and storms in June, 2013. Funds are being directed to specific unmet needs as they are presented weekly by the local Unmet Needs committee. The requests are screened according to need and cost.
