Starting Ash Wednesday, February 26, 6:00 p.m.

A Series of Nine Worship Services for the Season of

Lent "By His Wounds We Are Healed"

Synopsis: The innocent Son of God had no sins of his own for which he deserved to die, yet his enemies falsely accused him of violating eve-ry commandment of God. In each worship ser-vice during Lent (including Maundy Thursday and Good Friday) we will consider that it was our sin, our disobedience, that Jesus bore in his body on the cross. "The iniquity of us all” was laid upon him. Jesus suffered death in our place, and “by his wounds we are healed.” Our healing will be celebrated on Easter Sunday!

There will be two options on Ash Wednesday – an informal imposition of ashes in the sanctuary at noon, and/or the first service (“Wounds of Blasphemy” – Jesus accused of misusing God’s Name) of our Lenten worship series in the sanctuary at 6 p.m.

All are invited (encouraged!) to attend the worship of the church as we re-devote ourselves to Christian discipleship in preparation for a joyous Easter.
