Sharing Our Faith

Following Ash Wednesday, our midweek worship theme will be "Sharing Our Faith." We are having members of the congregation tell their faith stories. We are also using the Holden Evening Prayer service for our Wednesday services.

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of our Lenten journey. The Ash Wednesday service will include the imposition of ashes and holy communion. Note - there will be no confirmation on Ash Wednesday.

Lenten Suppers will be provided each Wednesday during Lent (except for Holy Week), at 5:30 p.m. on a free-will offering basis. Meals will be soup and bread. The focus of the meal, the evening, and the season of Lent will be on trusting God to have our daily needs met.

Palm Sunday - Come for a celebration of Christ's triumphant entry to Jerusalem with palm branches, music, and holy communion. Stay for the Youth eggbake breakfast - the Newport Luther League will be doing an eggbake breakfast fund raiser from 8:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. on Palm Sundy. Note also that the NLC Annual Meeting will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Palm Sunday.

First Communion for Fourth and Fifth Graders will be celebrated on Thursday, April 21st, during the Maundy Thursday service.

Maundy Thursday - Worship with Holy Communion
On Maundy Thursday we take time to reflect on the meaning of the Last Supper of our Lord as he shared a meal with his twelve closest friends. Jesus was the host and the meal. He was the master and the servant, teaching his disciples that they must also love and serve each other. We share the meal of our Lord on that day and we welcome our 5th graders to the meal for their first experience at the table of the Lord. The service ends as we strip the altar of all adornments to remember Christ's humiliation.
