SUMMARY:Sunday Worship Passion Series During Lent – Feb. 22 – March 29
DESCRIPTION:Join us this Lent as we enter into the Passion Story of Christ in a very meaningful way.\nRather than reading the entire Passion Story on Palm Sunday\, this year we are reading\nthe parts of the Passion Story each week. They may not always be read in sequence\,\nbut together with beautiful music from the Whispers of the Passion cantata\, the choir\nand the liturgy will create an experiential unfolding of the passion story. Each week we\nwill highlight a different symbol in the Passion Story. Don’t miss this opportunity to draw\ncloser to Christ this Lent.

SUMMARY:Second Sunday in Lent
DESCRIPTION:This week\, the passion story continues with betrayal and regret. Jesus is brought before the high priests and Pilate for questioning. Judas has agreed to betray Jesus. Peter has denied he even knows him. And in the end there is regret and despair all around. The artistic element this week revolves around the thirty pieces of silver and our special soloists Valerie Wood-McCrae and Andrea Falvo\, will touch hearts with their special music. We invite you to join us for worship on this Second Sunday in Lent as we experience anew the Passion Story.

SUMMARY:Third Sunday in Lent
DESCRIPTION:This week the passion story continues with Jesus being questioned by Pilate\, condemned to death while a murder is set free\, mocked and ridiculed\, and put to shame.  The crowds turned on him listening to lies. It happens even today. The artistic element this week focuses on “the robe” that was put on Jesus when they mocked him. The choir will sing a moving piece called “Redeemer of My Heart.” We invite you to join us for worship on this Third Sunday in Lent as we are drawn deeper into the Passion Story.

SUMMARY:Fifth Sunday in Lent
DESCRIPTION:This week the passion story leads us to the end of the story – or at least so it seems – the crucifixion. Evil has temporarily won\, ; the Son of God crucified like a common criminal. But there was nothing common about Jesus; He took on the sin of the world\, and the evil that humanity inflicted would soon be transformed. The artistic element this week revolves around the cross with a special musical slection sung by our choir enitled “Contemplation of the Cross.” \nWe invite you to join us for worship on this Fifth Sunday in Lent as we prepare to journey into Holy Week and the final conclusion of the redeeming power of the cross.

SUMMARY:Palm/Passion Sunday
DESCRIPTION:On this Palm/Passion Sunday\, we go back in the passion story of Jesus to the beginning when He heads into Jerusalem. Although the crowds greet Him as royalty shouting Hosanna\, He knows what suffering lies ahead. We too begin our worship with shouts and songs of Hosanna and then prepare for the most sacred week in the Church year – Holy Week. The artistic element this week revolves around the walls of Jerusalem and the palms. The special musical selection by the choir is entitled “Whisper of the Palms.” \nWe invite you to join us for worship on this Palm/Passion Sunday and to join in the procession of palms as we prepare to journey into Holy Week.
