Lenten Study

You are invited to a Lenten Study on Thursday nights starting at 6:30 with a light meal in the Office Annex. Lent is a time to go deeper into our relationship with God. Many times we say simple statements about God like: “God loves me” or “I accept Jesus” without realizing the great power and importance of our beliefs.  This year’s Lenten program will focus on basic beliefs of our Christian faith. Whatever your experience or background, join us as we eat and ponder simple statements that have deep meaning. Thursdays in Lent up to Maundy Thursday.

Lenten Community Lunches are held each Wednesday through Lent at Trinity Lutheran. Lunch begins at 12n with a brief devotion from an area pastor.
