As disciples of Jesus, we are called to a discipline that contends against evil and resists whatever leads us away from love of God and neighbor. Pastor Hans and Deaconess Deborah invite you to explore the discipline of Lent—self-examination and repentance, prayer and fasting, sacrificial giving and works of love—strengthened by the gifts of word and sacrament.

We mark a high-point of Jesus’ earthly ministry with his institution the Eucharist, washing of his disciples’ feet, and his command to love one another. Dcs. Deborah will preach at this choral Eucharist, and we will conclude with the stripping of the altar. Music provided by the Trinity Choir.
We gather at 12 noon, the time when Jesus was crucified, for a service centered on the combination of bitterness and glory that emanates from Jesus’ trial and crucifixion.
