The 2010 Lenten Services Schedule
Our community's popular ecumenical Lenten Services have been scheduled again this year for each Wednesday during Lent.
This season's theme for the series is "The Sign of Jonah." Jonah for Lent? Sounds fishy, but it is a natural fit. When the Jews asked Jesus for a sign, he said, "I will give you only the sign of Jonah." After three days in the belly of the earth, Jesus rose with news of God's prodigal grace. This series explores the meaning of "The Sign of Jonah," following Jonah on his journey, and Jesus on his way to the cross.
Each Wednesday all are invited to gather for soup and sandwich beginning at 6:00 pm, with worship following at 7:00 pm. The schedule is as follows:
