The seven weeks of Lent are devoted to reflection upon the suffering and death of Jesus Christ. But Lent is also a time to hear afresh the words of the Lord Jesus, who said: “… the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.” John 6:63 (NLT).During this season of Lent we will be giving attention to the words of life Jesus spoke while in the very midst of death. These words from the cross are his “crosswords.” Over the seven weeks of Lent, we will be focusing on the seven last sayings of Christ from the cross.
Our prayer is that you will join us on this journey as we reflect on our own sinfulness and repent of our sin. A list of dates and themes are listed below.
March 6 (Ash Wednesday) – Father forgive them (service at 7:30 p.m.)
March 10 – You will be with me in paradise.
March 17 – Here is your son. Here is your mother.
March 24 – My God, why have you forsaken me?
March 31 – I’m thirsty.
April 7 – It is finished
April 12 (Good Friday) – Father, into your hands I commend my spirit (service at 12 noon with a soup luncheon).
