Our Theme "Everything In Between"
This year, we're letting some familiar stories in Luke's gospel (The Good Samaritan, Mary & Martha, the fruitless fig tree, and more) guide us through Lent. Our Lenten theme "Everything In Between," invite us to navigate the polarities in our lives with more faith, intention, and openness to be transformed. You will see that each weekly sub-theme in Sunday worship explores two supposed binaries, lile "faith & works," or "rest & growth," or "grief & hope." This season, we invite you to look beyond black-and-white binaries and easy answers. We're trusting that God shows up in shades of gray, rainbow hues, and everywhere in between. We might begin to see a full spectrum instead of black and white. We might find God is present in between.
Our Lenten Devotional Booklet by Sanctified Art
Beginning with Ash Wednesday, this weekly devotional follows the scriptures of the "Everything In Between" series through Easter Sunday. Each week offers commentary, poetry, visual art, written reflections, hymns, and reflection prompts. Click here to view a digital version of this year's Lenten Devotional. Paper copies of the booklet are available on the table in the back of the sanctuary and on the "Christian Education" tower in the Assembly Room.
We also have Daily Devotional Cards For Lent. Our Daily Devotional Cards offer a question for reflection or a quick prayer. Click here for a digital copy of the Daily Devotional Cards. A set of cards can be printed for you upon request. Please reach out to Kim in the church office.

- The Second Sunday In Lent (March 16): faith and works
- The Third Sunday In Lent (March 23): rest and growth
- The Fourth Sunday In Lent (March 30): lost and found
