Lenten Focus: Worship and becoming spiritually alive!

   For the first five Sundays in Lent we will be using the 1928 Prayer Book for our Services of Holy Communion. This temporary change is to help us observe our Anglican heritage with the Service that is most commonly accepted throughout our Anglican Church in North America. We will return to our regular Service Booklets on Palm Sunday.      
   We will be using the Sharing Times after the Service to reflect upon Worship, traditions including those of the early church, Services of Holy Communion, and we’ll study what Holy Scripture tells us about worshiping God.
    During our times of Worship, Biblical Preaching throughout Lent will be focused upon becoming spiritually alive. The sermon series is as follows:

  March 20     2 Lent        Being Born of the Spirit     John 3:1-17
  March 27     3 Lent        GOD IS SPIRIT   John 4: 5-42
