Welcome Friends and Guests: The Old Testament promises providing a baptismal lens this Lent is the promise God makes to Moses: those who look on the bronze serpent will live. In today’s gospel Jesus says he will be lifted up on the cross like the serpent, so that those who look to him in faith will live. When we receive the sign of the cross in baptism, that cross becomes the sign we can look to in faith for healing, for restored relationship to God, for hope when we are dying.
Worship and Communion: In God's boundless diversity, we are made in God's image! If you are visiting or new to our faith family, please fill out a yellow guest card and put it in the offering plate so we have a record of your visit. Come back and worship with us each Sunday at 10 a.m. Those worshiping today may come forward for the sacraments of Holy Communion (gluten-free bread, wine or grape juice) or to cross your arms across your chest for a blessing. This is Christ’s table, all are welcome, as Christ welcomes all.
Fellowship: Join us after worship today in the Fellowship Hall for coffee and conversation. Church council meets after worship today too.
