Where we are gathered to celebrate God’s love for us revealed in Jesus!
Fourth Sunday in Lent March 30, 2025
As we gather for worship this Sunday
It’s always all about grace. As Isaiah says in our OT reading, “Although you were angry with me, Lord, Your anger has turned away and You have comforted me.” That’s what Jesus came to do—to turn away God’s anger from us, and absorb it into Himself. Because of Him, you and I are reconciled to God. May He give us the grace and strength we need, to now be equally generously reconciled to one another, and everyone He places in our path!
Readings: Isaiah 12:1–6 2 Corinthians 5:16–21 Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32
Music: Come to Calv’ry’s Holy Mountain Today Your Mercy Calls Us By Grace He Will Hold Me Fast

Sunday morning Bible Studies
Continue this week—9:00 to 9:45 AM in the Gathering Room. This week we will be reading Psalm 7. You do not need to study it ahead of time, but doing so will give you a running start on the discussion.
Midweek Lenten Services continue each Wednesday at 7:00 PM. The theme is “Words That Last Forever”—the 7 final things Jesus said on the cross. This week’s word is THIRST. The series continues into Holy Week (Maundy Thursday, April 17; Good Friday, April 18, and Easter Sunday, April 20).
“Faith and Family” Bible study series continues next Thursday, April 3.
We’re talking about how to share our faith within our households and extended families, even if they not share our convictions. Please pray that these discussions will create openings for growth—in ourselves and among those we love.
