Ash Wednesday - 2/18; 7:00 PM

First Sunday in Lent - 2/22; 9:30 AM

Isaiah 58:1-12

Is this the fast that I choose? As we begin our series, we must examine if our actions match what we profess. As we practice seeking this Lent, what kind of fast will you choose? How will you live your faith? How will you live the questions of your faith?

Matthew 4:1-11 | Genesis 2:15-17, 3:1-7

Seeking the fruit of the garden, Adam and Eve allow the snake’s manipulative voice to become louder than God’s voice. In the wilderness, Jesus defies the deception of the tempter by listening intuitively—to God. And so, who will you listen to? Within the onslaught of messaging we receive, we are invited to choose carefully.
