Themes for Our Wednesday Lenten Services

Dear People of God,

This Wednesday, February 17, we move into a new season of the church year, the season of Lent. It is a time set aside by the church to help us "get back to the basics of our faith." Originally, Lent was that time when new believers were instructed in the faith in preparation for baptism on Easter eve. This is a wonderful time for each of us to "re-instruct" ourselves in matters of the faith. And our mid-week worship schedule is designed to help us do just that. Our Wednesday worship themes are based upon Martin Luther's Small Catechism, a teaching tool that we still use today.

Below is the schedule for the Wednesday services during the season of Lent. 

 

DATE THEME

2/17 "Confession" 

2/24 "10 Commandments" 

3/3 "Creed" 

3/10 "Lord's Prayer" 

3/17 "Baptism 

3/24 "Communion"

As we move into this new season, may we follow the Spirit's leading to stronger conviction in our faith!  You can find the details of the times of our Wednesday services by clicking the link on the right to the church web site.  (Note that our Wednesday evening services are being held in conjunction with St. Paul's Lutheran Church in downtown Dayton.  The schedule indicates which services are held at which church.)

In Christ's hope and peace, 

Gary Eichhorn

Worship This Weekend - A Message From Our Pastor

This Weekend in Worship we are challenged to prepare ourselves for the unexpected encounters with God: Isaiah was totally caught off-guard in the temple; Peter was shocked in his fishing boat; and Paul was knocked off his feet. It is tempting to "put God in a box" and then expect the Lord to act the way we think God should act. But, our lessons this weekend remind us that we need to be prepared to be "blown out of the water" in our encounters with God. What are you expecting to happen when you meet God in worship?
