We are Christ-centered, which means that everything we do and say is focused
around Jesus Christ. Our worship, our ministry teams, fellowship events and

Savior and that we are called to serve Him through work in the community and
beyond, and to praise God at ALL times for the work God accomplishes through
our effort. We fully understand that without Christ, our lives would have no
meaning or purpose.

We understand that life pulls you in many directions, but taking the time for God
makes life so much better and we hope to be a part of that journey with you.

I write these words on a snowy day in
February, shortly after the Super Bowl.
One of the things I noticed about the game
is how well the players knew the plays. The
plays had been learned by the players
practicing them time and again over many
seasons.

In a similar way there are certain times of
the church year that are intended to help us
learn God's gospel game plan and to
practice it and experience it in our worship
and our lives. Lent and Easter are about the
most important of these seasons. Through
the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ,
we are delivered from sin and death. By the
Holy Spirit we are rescued and born into
eternal life with God. This story is familiar
and we walk through it each year in the
weeks leading up to Easter.

This essential good news - the heart of the
Christian story - is renewed in our lives and
in our worship in this season.

This Lent, experience the walk that Jesus
took toward Jerusalem and the cross during
the last days of His life. Lent begins in
ashes on Ash Wednesday. It ends with the
bright dawn of hope on Easter morning.

Renew God's game plan in your life this
Lent by joining in worship each Sunday
along the way.

We look forward to seeing you.

Blessings,
Eric
