WORSHIP

We strive for worship to be invitational, contagious, and relational.
We want more people to hear the message of Jesus,
and we will do anything to erase any barrier that prohibits people from a spirit of worship.

Wednesday evenings during Lent

Join us at First Lutheran Church as we embark on this journey through Lent.

God’s story is a story of rescue. This theme is woven throughout Scripture — from the very beginning of creation, through every chapter of human history, to the ultimate rescue we find in Jesus Christ. God has always been on a mission to rescue and save his people from sin and death.

During this season of Lent, we’ll explore key moments in Scripture that highlight God’s acts of rescue. Each rescue reveals God’s heart for his people and invites us to consider the depth of our own need for rescue.
