“What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of [people]. That is what love looks like.”
St. Augustine

The Acts of the Apostles with Louie Giglio
In a world that is unsure of where to find truth or purpose, the book of Acts stands apart. It reveals God's plan for global redemption, His purpose for our lives, and the power He has given us to accomplish His mission. Join Pastor Louie Giglio in this eight-session series as he walks through the story of the early church. Acts may have been written two-thousand years ago, but God is calling us to be a part of that story today.

“Behold Jesus Christ!” (Lent 2023)
Six Stories from Christ’s Followers in the Gospels
A unknown little hymn from Ethiopia, hidden in our Lutheran hymnal, (#542) will guide us to the cross during our six weeks of Lenten worship. “When I Behold Jesus Christ” was written and composed by a sixteen year old girl from Ethiopia, Almaz Belhu, and submitted to the Mekane Yesus Church in Ethiopia when compiling a new hymnal in 1970.
Six important witnesses from the Gospels will also help us to “behold Jesus Christ! Hearing their first-hand stories will bring us closer to understanding Jesus’ purpose and plan, which included being a prophet, a healer, and a Savior.
Our Lenten services begin on Ash Wednesday, February 22 at 7 p.m. with a service of Ashes and Holy Communion. Each service will conclude with a character portrayal and a closing song of reflection. Our characters this year are:
