During Lent, we gather Tuesday evenings at 7:30 p.m. in the chapel to consider Jesus’ death on the cross and what it means for us today.

Tonight (Feb. 19), we will take a look at 1 Corinthians 1:18-2:2 and the “foolishness” of the cross.  What does Paul mean by that?  And what about the cross is startling, scandalous, or troubling to you?

Join us for worship with imposition of ashes and Holy Communion, either mid-day at 12:15 p.m. or in the evening at 7 p.m. this Wednesday (Feb. 13).  All are also welcome to a simple soup supper at 6 p.m., before the evening service.

This is a joint service with Trinity Lutheran Church/Lakewood and St. Thomas Lutheran Church/Cleveland.
