Upcoming Events
Martin Luther Movie
Joseph Fiennes, Peter Ustinov,
Jonathan Firth (brother of Collin), and Bruno Ganz are among the excellent
cast of the acclaimed film
Luther,
produced by Thrivent in 2003. The
movie is an accurate and gripping portrayal of Martin Luther and the
Reformation he ignited. The movie is appropriate for all ages.
Ash Wednesday
The themes of repentance and renewal permeate our Lenten journey each year. We begin the season of Lent on Ash Wednesday with the imposition of ashes: “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return,” and with the singing of Psalm 51: “Have mercy of me, O God, according to your steadfast love; in your great compassion blot out my offenses. . . . Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew in me a right spirit.” On the five subsequent Wednesdays, our liturgy will include Holden Evening Prayer by Marty Haugen.
Martin Luther and J.S. Bach Musicale - Sunday, February 26, 3 p.m.
(Pastor David and Rachael Kresha, organists)
Martin Luther was a musician as well as a
theologian. Luther wrote many hymns for his congregations to sing. These
hymns not only glorified God but also taught scripture and theology to those
who sang them. J.S. Bach, along with many others, composed organ pieces
based on Luther’s hymns, as well as many other works freely composed (not
based on preexisting melodies).
This
musicale will include some of Luther’s hymns, as well as works by Bach. A
freewill offering will be received. A reception will follow.
Companions in Christ - March 2, 5:30 p.m.
Monthly Bible study gathering as a small group for fook, fellowship and sharing what we are learning. The current Bible study is "Feeding the World: The Mind of Christ" and workbook available by contacting Scott Hoecker. The event is at the Hoecker's home. Contact for address and directions.
