Dear St. Mark friends,
Winter isn’t the only season of length this time of
year. For the past seven weeks, we’ve
immersed ourselves in the full season of Epiphany. Naturally, this leads to a later date for
Easter, as well. But now, we move into
the season of Lent, beginning with Ash
Wednesday on March 6, with two services at noon and at 6:45 P.M.
This year, our Wednesday evening Lenten services will center
on, “Five Gifts of Discipleship.” Our scripture
readings will come from Paul’s letter to the Philippians. I encourage you to read Philippians in
advance as you prepare to join us for Wednesday evening worship this Lenten
season. Here is our mid-week schedule:
March 13 Live among God’s faithful people
Philippians
1:3-11
Pastor
Mark
March 20 Hear the word of God and share in the
Lord’s supper
Philippians

March 27 Proclaim the good news of God in Christ
through word and deed

Please join us this Lenten season as we reflect upon these
valuable gifts of discipleship.
Walking this journey of faith with you,
Pastor Mark
