Ash Wednesday Services
March 5th | 7:00 am | 12:30 pm | 7:00 pm
Begin the Lenten season by joining us for one of our short-format, traditional worship services, each including the sacred imposition of ashes. We invite you to pause amidst your day to gather in worship and fellowship as we embark together on the journey through Lent.
The Lord’s Prayer
When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray, he gave them the words to what we now know as the Lord’s Prayer. We’re inviting you to read Wesley Hill’s short but insightful book on the Lord’s Prayer and reflect on your practice of prayer. Copies may be purchased at the Lake Forest Book Store or on Sunday following worship.
Small Groups
Community is an essential Christian practice and one we regularly invite you to. We’d love to help you find a group or start one of your own. Groups will be encouraged to read Wesley Hill’s book on the Lord’s Prayer.
Chapel Worship and Dinner
Join us for a casual worship service on Sunday nights during Lent led by Daniel Makins.
5:00 pm Worship Chapel
6:00 pm Dinner Great Room
Labyrinth
This Lenten season, we invite you to walk the labyrinth as a form of prayer. Walk it at your own pace and be open to its gifts. A guide will be provided. If you have any questions or want to learn more about labyrinths, please contact Kristie.
Art and Prayer Space
Room 012 (next to the Fellowship Hall kitchen) will be set aside during Lent for creative expressions of prayer. Creative activities can add a new dimension to your prayer life, providing peace, inspiration, and focus. Invite God into your art as you work, whether you’re painting, knitting, sculpting, or crafting. Let prayer guide your hands, calm your mind, and open your heart to new possibilities. Explore the spiritual connection between creativity and faith through prayer.
The space is available Monday through Friday during the church business hours. All supplies and guides will be provided.
Easter Flowers
As we look forward to Easter, offerings for flowers are welcomed in memory or honor of a loved one to beautify the church and remind us of the glory of God’s creation and Christ’s resurrection. If you are offering Easter flowers in honor or memory of a loved one and would like for their names to be printed in the Easter bulletin, please have your donations in by Tuesday, April 15th.
Maudy Thursday
We invite you to join us in homes across town for a shared meal and communion. Together, we will reflect on Jesus’ humility and sacrifice, breaking bread in fellowship as we prepare our hearts for Good Friday.
