Worship Notes for Lent and Easter
We enter the busy season of Lent with Ash Wednesday, February 14, ironically on Valentine’s Day. This year, the Mahoning County Lutheran Cluster (MCLC) will host a Lenten Midweek series, entitled, “Making Change.”
Change is a constant in our lives. Sometimes change can be difficult and at other times change is
welcome. The recent pandemic forced many uncomfortable changes on us. And while generally there has been a return to normal, some changes have become more or less permanent like not passing the offering plates anymore. The MCLC series, “Making Change” will address this feature of human life and how people of faith can cope. Please plan to attend each week at one of our sister Lutheran congregations, enjoy a hot bowl of soup, make new friends, and spend time with our LORD in worship, meditation, and prayer.
The theme of weekend worship is “Baptized into Christ Jesus.” Join us as we explore this theme and journey with Jesus to Jerusalem.
