Adult Online Study Group (AOSG)
The Promise and Power of Easter
by Christine Caine, Lisa Harper
Tuesday | April 1 | 7:00-8:15 PM | Online via Zoom
Easter is so much more than a holiday. Easter isn't just a date on the calendar; it's the most significant event in human history. It's the celebration of Jesus' resurrection from the dead, and His victory over everything that holds us back in our earthly lives. It's the day we focus on the promise and power of Jesus and draw closer to Him.
Join Christine Caine and Lisa Harper in a transformative study that goes beyond tradition. Walk with them through four weeks of the Lenten season taking in the details of Jesus' life, the agony of His death, and the overwhelming joy of His resurrection. Relive His steps with a heart full of hope. See it all with eyes of faith. You'll be ready to celebrate Easter in more ways than you ever have and be inspired to share the joy only Jesus could make possible.
This 4-week video Bible study is facilitated by Becky Marchiando. The study group meets online via Zoom on Tuesday evenings March 18 through April 8 at 7:00 PM. Sign up online or at the welcome center so that we can send you Zoom credentials you'll need to participate. We'd love to have you join us!

Meal | 6:30 PM
Worship | 7:15 PM
Each Lenten season we provide a fellowship opportunity for people of faith to gather around a table and share a meal at 6:30 PM.

Everyone who attends shares in the responsibility of providing different components for the meal. Volunteers sign up each week to provide a gallon of soup for the evening. The remainder of the attendees provide either bread or cookies. Beverages and table service will be provided. The Lenten Meal will be offered at 6:30 PM on Wednesdays: 3/12, 3/19, 3/26, 4/2, and 4/9. Our worship series begins after this fellowship time at 7:15 PM. Sign up at the welcome center or online.
Midweek Lent Worship Message Series
In a world that is constantly changing, that is full of questions and uncertainties, can we find something solid to hang on to, something that will give the security we long for? Jesus gives an answer—in His own words. He is the “I Am!” When we are in darkness, He says, “I Am Light.” When we are lost, He declares, “I Am Your Good Shepherd.” When we have no way to get through our crisis, He invites, “I Am the Door.” Join us as we discover who Jesus is, and who we can become.
