Fifth Sunday in Lent
Join us in person and online for worship service starting at 9:55 with gathering music.
Rooted in justice, mercy, and faithfulness…
Our Lent series “Tell Me Something Good” has invited us to return to the Good News of our faith.
Our world has a seemingly endless stream of bad news to offer us.
This week, we will encounter a story that has been pivotal in the Christian faith –
Jesus’ encounter with the Pharisees and a woman caught in adultery.
The Pharisees come into this encounter looking for the negative.
Jesus sees the encounter through the lens of justice, mercy, and faithfulness.
Join us this Sunday as we learn together how to see the Good News at work within us, around us, and beyond us
