Ash Wednesday is March 5th
The beginning of March brings in our season of Lent.
The Apostle Peter is the thread connecting each of our 6 midweek Lenten services this year, as well as some Holy Week services, and Sundays before and after Lent. Beginning with Transfiguration Sunday, March 2 and Ash Wednesday, March 5, the Gospel Readings will feature the growing relationship between our Lord Jesus and Simon Peter, the disciple that Jesus called to be “the first among equals” of the twelve. Peter is much like we are, exhibiting emotions of fear, guilt, pride, awe, boldness, confusion, denial, despair, rage, faith, excitement, joy, and hope! Simon was a ‘regular guy,’ and does some goofy things that show he did not always live up to the name Jesus gave him of Peter, the “Rock.” We will see in Peter’s growing faith and understanding of Christ similar issues and situations we go through.
All three pastors and one of our seminary fieldworkers of St Peter’s will be preaching in this series, as we focus on our church’s Name-sake Apostle and his relationship with Christ Jesus, the other disciples, and the Christian Church. Most of the Sundays in Lent and some other Holy Week services will focus on other themes.
Join your spiritual family at St. Peter’s at noon and 7 pm on Ash Wednesday, as the midweek services begin. Make this a season of spiritual growth as we draw closer to our Lord.
