The Hand of the Lord – Season of Lent

The season of Lent approaches! Currently, our Ash Wednesday services are scheduled for March 5, with a service at both 12:00 and 7:30 p.m. Additionally, please check our calendar to stay updated and join us for our Lenten midweek services each Wednesday in Lent as we explore the many ways in which the hand of the Lord reaches out to us -- to heal, help, comfort -- and how He restores our own hands for His purposes, to use them in service and to make our whole lives into His instruments of witness, service, and praise.
