We begin Lent with a special evening worship service on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 26, 8PM in the Chapel. Pastor Boling’s meditation, “On Your Marks,” will reflect on what it means to receive the mark of ashes at the beginning of this holy season. The service includes the imposition of ashes and The Lord’s Supper. All are welcome.

Palm Sunday Cantata, April 5
On Palm Sunday during 10:45AM worship, the Chapel Choir will perform the cantata, “What a Morning!” Composed by Jay Althouse, “What a Morning!” recounts the journey of Jesus from his triumphal entry into Jerusalem all the way through the events of Holy Week leading up to his passion, death and victorious resurrection.
The cantata will take the place of Pastor Boling’s sermon, and will serve as a sermon-in-song.
