Sharing Grief To Bring Gospel Hope
I Thessalonians 4:13-14

To be honest: grief is part of the package of life on a broken planet.  Paul gives a foundation for facing the grief of life based on the death and resurrection of Jesus to the believers in Thessalonica and through them to us, and through us to our community. 

Nursery is available in the lower level of the Red Brick Building. The Sanctuary balcony has a space for parent-supervised quiet play for young children. Activity clipboards and binders will be available for elementary children to use during the service.

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent.  An Ash Wednesday service seeks to remind Christians that we were formed from dust and to dust our bodies will return – to remind us that we are spiritually, emotionally, morally, intellectually, and relationally fragile beings. Ashes, which symbolize death and repentance, are placed on the worshiper's foreheads in the form of the cross with the officiate saying, Remember that thou art dust, and to dust, you shall return.

Join us in the Sanctuary as we mark the beginning of the season of Lent following a light soup supper.

For All the People
Luke 4: 14-30

This week we wrap up our journey we began during Advent considering the "Good News of Great Joy" found in Luke 4: 18-19 when he quotes from Isaiah 61.  This week we consider how the people of Nazareth respond to Jesus' proclamation and launch of his earthly ministry.  We will consider what incites the sudden change in mood from being amazed at Jesus' gracious words to being enraged and ready to stone him.  We will use this account to consider how we respond to Jesus even when he is not the Savior we hope for or expect. 

Livestream is available on the Fusion YouTube Channel or at harderwyk.com/watch.
