The month of February may be the shortest of the year, but it is filled with activities and reminders of our call to be Christians in the world. Our worship this month will reflect those opportunities. Come and share as we prepare to be God’s people in the world.
FEBRUARY 7 SUPER BOWL SUNDAY
It’s an extravagant day. Player’s salaries that top seven figures, not to mention the amount paid to own a team. The amount of money that companies pay for advertising products and services for all of 30 or 60 seconds. The amount of food and beverage that will be consumed in homes, restaurants, and bars. In the midst of all the extravagance, we will gather around the table of the Lord to celebrate the greatest extravagance of all – God’s Son who came to us.
FEBRUARY 14 LOVE SUNDAY
It’s Valentine’s Day! In the spirit of the day, we will celebrate love in all its forms. The Cherub Choir will be singing, there will be valentines and hugs and kisses for all! See the related article for more information.
FEBRUARY 17 ASH WEDNESDAY
Today we mark the beginning of our 40 day journey to Easter, reminding us of the 40 days Jesus spent in the wilderness. We will gather for a Service of Ashes, reminding us that we came from the dust, to the dust we will return.
FEBRUARY 21 FIRST SUNDAY IN LENT
Throughout the season of Lent, we will be considering the promise we made to support our church with prayers, presence, gifts, service, and enthusiasm. We begin today with prayers – what do our prayers tell the world about our beliefs? Do we pray for one another? How can we make our prayers more effective? Do we believe God hears and answers prayer?
FEBRUARY 28 SECOND SUNDAY IN LENT/CAMPING SUNDAY
We are a connectional church and through the connection we support camping ministry that takes place for all ages. Our guest today is Keith Schadel, executive director of Camp Lakeside, located near Scott City. Keith will share at both services how God continues to work in powerful ways at camps, retreats, small groups, and mission schools that take place in a camp setting.
