Lent & Easter 2012

Sunday Services

Sundays, February 26 - March 25

10:00 am, in the Sanctuary
Miracle worker? Sage Rabbi? World Ruler? Sacrificial Servant? Political Radical? Good Guy? What is it about Jesus that gets your attention and causes you to pause, to wonder why he has had such an effect on the world, to wonder who he might really be to you? The Sunday Services in Lent are focused on these questions and will help you find some answers.
