Daily Lent Readings

Readings Begin Sunday, March 9

Daily Lent Readings
 

Lent readings post to this page beginning Sunday, March 9, 2025.
 
Each day we'll say a prayer from Jeremiah 31, read a passage from Scripture, unpack the different contexts of each golden thread, invite the Spirit to weave the thread into our lives, then finish the day with a prayer we hope will internalize what we learned by praying it back to God. And it only takes 20 minutes a day.
 
Readings are also available via podcast on Apple, Spotify or YouTube.

Ways of Worship: Contemporary

Every Sunday, we offer three distinctive styles of worship. The Scripture and message are the same in each service, but the order and music vary. I encourage all of our members to become multilingual in worship: to try each service during the course of a year.  
 
The 9.00 service fulfills Psalm 150:
 
Praise him with trumpet sound;
         praise him with lute and harp!
Praise him with tambourine and dance;
         praise him with strings and pipe,
  Praise him with sounding cymbals;
         praise him with loud clashing cymbals!
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! 
 
A multitude of instruments augments the vibrant singing of both current and treasured worship songs. The atmosphere is the least formal of our services, and the congregation rejoices that every generation is well represented. The robust fellowship creates a wonderful loving atmosphere every Sunday at 9. The congregation communes monthly through the intimacy of forming small groups at the front of the Sanctuary.
