The three traditional pillars of Lent are prayer, fasting and almsgiving. In the Latin-rite church, Lent begins with Ash Wednesday, Mar 2 this year. (CNS graphic/Nancy Wiechec)

Beginning Ash Wednesday, we enter the time of Lent: 40 days to mark Jesus’ journey to the cross and his Passover from death to life.  As disciples of Jesus, we are called to a discipline that contends against evil and resists whatever leads us away from love of God and neighbor.  The disciplines of Lent are self examination and repentance, prayer and fasting, sacrificial giving and works of love, disciplines we are able to do as we are strengthened by the gifts of word and sacrament.

Special Lent Offering

Lutheran Baby Care Kits

During Lent, Christians practice charity and sacrificial love by going above and beyond our regular giving to help those most in need. Our focus this year is Lutheran World Relief Baby Care Kits.  Click on the link below to learn more about Baby Care Kits and how to donate specific items or a financial gift. 

Lenten Soup Supper

We invite you to have a simple meal of soup and bread one night a week. Please post pictures and your favorite soup recipe on our Facebook page.

Making soup is forgiving, just like our God! A simple soup supper marks that the 40 days before Easter are different. The simplicity of the meal reminds us that we do not rely on bread alone, but upon God’s Word. One might consider the cost savings of a more simple meal as a donation to a charitable cause such as LWR Baby Care Kits.
