Lenten & Easter Series Planned

Walking with Jesus today
Walking with Jesus today

Pastor Eric kicked off our Lenten Easter series called Walking with Jesus this past Sunday.   He and I have been working behind the scenes on the entire outline for this series.   Our goal is to focus our thoughts in the Gospels on the ministry of Jesus and our reaction to it.   This will help us all to be powerfully confronted again by Jesus in person through the pages of Scripture.   We are always changed for the better by such an encounter, just as his disciples were.

Lenten/Easter Series Planned

 This mild winter is passing quickly.  A week from today is Ash Wednesday.   This coming Sunday begins our 50 day emphasis leading up to Easter.   This year, Pastor Eric and I have chosen to focus on the life of our Lord using passages from the Gospel of John.   Each week we will show a DVD interpretation with words taken directly from the Good News Bible translation of the American Bible Society, an excellent contemporary translation.   It’s hard to believe that it has been 5 years already since the last such series from John.   Each time we cover it I find new insights to emphasize.
