A learned Jewish theologian, a Samaritan woman at the well, a blind beggar waiting on the edge of a pool, and two women whose brother has died do not have much in common, but they all end up in conversation with Jesus. Christ offers them the Spirit, living water, vision, and new life. If we listen to Jesus, we will hear God offer us the same good gifts.
Lenten Worship
Ash Wednesday
February 18 | 6:00 PM | The Sanctuary
Our 40-Day Lenten journey begins with our earnest prayers on Ash Wednesday. Being honest about our inevitable deaths keeps us open to God's unlimited love. God is our mercy and our strength when we have to let go. So when we receive the mark of the ashes—hearing that we are made of dust and one day we will be dust again—we mercifully remember our interconnectedness to everything that is.

Join the Lenten Community
listening for the sacred: Lenten Small Groups
With every conversation, Jesus sees the person in front of him and responds to their unique story. He meets them right where they are—in the dark, alone, judged, or dying—and his generous attention opens up another life-giving way for them. Throughout our lives, when we’ve encountered Jesus, we’ve felt free. But without community, we may miss noticing the miracles. This Lent, small groups will meet regularly to wonder, listen, read, cook, create art, pray, and notice the miracles among us. In all we commit ourselves to this season, we’re listening for Jesus.
