Weekly Worship Series & Devotional Materials
When Jesus’ began his earthly ministry, he gathered followers known as disciples. Yet they became more than followers; they were invited by Jesus to join him in his work, to learn from him, and gain his authority to carry out God’s plans. Each disciple had unique gifts and struggles. Join us this Lent as we meet Jesus through the eyes and ears of his beloved disciples as we consider what it means to follow him. Reinvigorate your faith as we hear the testimonies, trials, and grace of a chosen life that is beloved by our Lord and Savior.

Preparing for Holy Week
As we conclude the Lenten Season, we prepare for the final week - Holy Week. Having begun our celebrations with Palm Sunday, we set our hearts towards Easter Sunday. To prepare for the greatest day of the year, we pass through Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. This week, be sure to set aside time in prayer, study, and worship, as we gather with Jesus at the last supper, sit with him at the foot of the cross, await him at the tomb, and prepare for new life to emerge.
