LENT 2023
THE BEATITUDES
Lent is the 40 day preparation for Easter. Lent 2023 begins with Ash Wednesday, February 22, 2023. On that day, we will have Imposition of Ashes in three ways: 1) Drive-by between 8-9am. Pastor David and Intern Pastor Dana Becker will wait in the parking lot, meet you at your car door for a scripture reading, prayer, confession, ashes and you’re on your way, or, 2) Noon – Sanctuary worship service (inside/outside), 3) 6:30pm, immediately following the Soup Supper (6pm) and will take place in Bankson Hall.
EVERY WEDNESDAY during the Season of Lent, there will be a soup supper and worship beginning at 6pm. Gather in Bankson Hall. Everyone is invited! Sign-up to provide a soup.
FIRST COMMUNION instruction for children will be provided during the Season of Lent. For three Wednesdays, beginning March 8, 5:15pm, children and parents will meet with the pastor in the Sanctuary. For details and to sign-up, call the church office (949)-493-3414.
THE THEME for the Season of Lent will focus on Jesus’ famous words from the Sermon on the Mount – The Beatitudes. Every Wednesday and Sunday, a pastor and a member will focus on these power words – “Blessed are the poor in Spirit…” (Matthew 5)
