Here’s what’s happening in worship this week.
Worship Services
Journey Worship | Sunday, at 8:45 am
An interactive, energetic service for those seeking a fresh encounter with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our theme this month is Revisit the Journey. We will celebrate the Lord’s Supper and the Rev. Dr. Randy Bush will preach from Genesis 17:1–7, 15–18.
Sanctuary Worship | Sunday, at 11 am
Our largest service, with music from the Chancel Choir and an organ prelude prior to the service. We will celebrate the Lord’s Supper and the Rev. Heather Schoenewolf will preach. Her sermon will be entitled “Saving Salvation: Amazing Grace,” based on Mark 8:31–38.
Taizé | Wednesday, at 7 pm
An hour-long service including sung prayers; simple, beautiful music; a time of silence; spoken and silent prayers; and an opportunity for individual prayer and anointing. The Rev. Mary Lynn Callahan will lead worship. We will not have an after-Taizé class this week.
Christian Education Classes
We offer Christian Education classes for persons of all ages, from infancy through adulthood, on Sundays from 9:45–10:45 am. Click the links for adult class descriptions and children and youth offerings.
Faith 101 | McKelvy Room
This week, Damon Bethea will lead our Lenten series, Faith 101. This week’s lesson will be Jesus: The Revolution of Love.
Contemporaries | Second Floor Parlor
Lenore Williams will lead our class on The Fruits of Discipleship. Living in Christ is a process of continuing conversion, transformation, and sanctification—growing in faith. Through the Holy Spirit, our identity in the living Christ becomes our “second nature.”
Journey With Scripture | Second Floor Library
Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain in me a willing spirit (Psalm 51:12). Restoration, joy, salvation, sustenance, willingness, and spirit; all these are for the asking—gifts of God in Christ for all. The Lenten readings for March can nourish us and witness to these gifts. Drop in and join us on the journey.
This week’s readings are Genesis 17:1–7,15–16; Psalm 22:23–31; Romans 4:13–25; and Mark 8:31–38.
Seekers | Room 234
In 1964, Presbyterians Pat and Carl Templin were sent by UPCUSA to serve in the Anuak Project in Southwest Ethiopia. Pat will share her family’s journey through 11 years, 3 children, and 7 or 8 different cultures, languages, and customs.
Soul Food | Room 244 and Pastor’s Conference Room
We will discuss our Lenten text, Wondrous Encounters—Scripture for Lent, by Richard Rohr. New participants are always welcome!
