The Lenten journey may seem overly familiar. Yet, the Lenten journey and our discipleship path encourage us to grow, to go deeper, to climb higher, to reach further than we may have before. Lent is a time of introspection, but also a call to action as we seek to be the pilgrim people of God, seeking God’s kingdom and shaping God’s kin-dom in worship and in service. This Lent, we invite you to experience the renewal that comes from God’s never-ending mercy and then to walk with our Lord on a journey to new life.

Please join us for worship as Lent begins.

Spend 90 good minutes this Saturday morning with the "Serve Joyfully" webinar, based on the United Methodist Vision statement. Participants will examine how mission is practiced in relationship, shaped by context, and grounded in a call to serve with humility and joy. Learn more and register at the link below.
