Football Season is behind us (except for the Pro Bowl and if you're into the Desperados!)
AND...
Ash Wednesday (Feb. 6th) begins our 40 Days to the Cross.
Typically in the Lutheran church we focus our thoughts on LENT during this time of the year. Because it is a time to reflect on Christ's journey to the cross, we do not sing the Alleluias in worship...we save them until Easter Sunday. In your private devotion time...it is probably still okay to celebrate that Jesus still lives today and that we find salvation through Him alone!
For the Youth, we look forward to one of our biggest youth events, our Easter Breakfast. This year will be really cool, as we get to have our breakfast in our new Fellowship Hall.
Do not forget to write these important events on your calendar...
