Sunday Reflection – Lent IV, March 15, 2026

Opening Eyes John 9 As he walked along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned; he was born blind so that God’s works might be revealed in him. 4 We must work the works of…

Kids Korner: Lent IV – Jesus and the Blind Man (March 15th)

Read John 9:1-41 with your family. Sometimes when something hard happens, people start asking, “Whose fault is it?” In the story this week, the disciples see a man who cannot see, and they wonder who did something wrong to cause it. But Jesus tells them that they are asking the wrong question. Instead of looking…

Lenten Study 2026 – Week 3

Week Three: The Table Within The Meal Lent invites us to slow down, reflect, and pay closer attention to the presence of God in the ordinary moments of our lives. Through our Church Without Walls Lenten Study, we explore how faith is not only expressed in worship services, but in the simple rhythms of daily living…

Sunday Reflection – Lent III, March 8, 2026

Born Anew John 4 5 So he came to a Samaritan city called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired out by his journey, was sitting by the well. It was about noon. 7 A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to…

Kids Korner: Lent III – Woman at the well (March 8th)

Read John 4:5-42 with your family. This week we meet a woman at a well. She isn’t famous, and we don’t even know her name, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t important! Jesus talks with her in a way that surprises everyone: he listens, asks questions, and invites her into something bigger than she’s seen…

Lenten Study 2026 – Week 2

Week Two: Learning and Living the Faith Acts 4 gives us additional glimpses into the first communities of Christian believers in Jerusalem. Other letters and documents written around that time and later give us insight into how communities grew, how they worked and learned together, and what was expected of new converts to early Christianity.…

Sunday Reflection – Lent II, March 1, 2026

Born Anew John 3 Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews. 2 He came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with that person.” 3 Jesus answered him, “Very…

Kids Korner: Lent II – Nicodemus (March 1st)

Read John 3:1-17 with your family. This week we meet Nicodemus. He was a Pharisee, which meant he worked at the Temple in Jerusalem and he was surrounded by others who looked at Jesus with a great deal of suspicion and anger. However, Nicodemus was curious. He wanted to understand what Jesus was talking about.…

Lenten Study 2026 – Week 1

Week One: Before There Were Walls This week we asked a slightly dangerous question: What did church look like before it had buildings, budgets, and bulletins? Acts 2 gives us a glimpse – people devoted to teaching, eating together, praying, sharing resources, and actually knowing one another. It wasn’t polished. It wasn’t scheduled into neat 60…
