The season of Lent is a time for all to face together the brokenness of your lives and your world, and then turn that brokenness over to Christ so that you can be restored by him through the cross.
Written by seminary professor Joel Biermann, each service in this stirring series focuses on a certain event in the Lenten story and takes a good, hard look at a broken element from that particular story.
Coming to an understanding of how each of the broken elements leads to restoration in Christ is key to understanding what it ultimately means to live today as new creations in Christ.
The first in the series starts on Ash Wednesday, at 6:00 p.m. in the church sanctuary. It is entitled "Broken Hearts Restored" taken from Joel 2:12-14.
The next in the series will be presented during regular church services Sunday morning February 22 at 10:45 a.m., entitled "Broken Vessel Restored", Mark 14: 1-9.
On Sunday, March 1, the message presented will be from Matthew 26: 14-25, "Broken Trust Restored."
On March 8, "Broken Bread Restored" will be presented taken from John 6:48-58. March 15: "Broken Promises Restored," from Matthew 26: 69-75.
On March 22: "Broken Justice Restored" from 2 Corinthians 5: 20-21.
Another message will be presented on Maundy Thursday, April 2 at 6:00 entitled "Broken Sanctury," from Luke 22: 39-48.
The last of the series will be presented twice, once at the Sunrise Service, in the Main Street Cemetery, at 7:00 a.m. and again during worship service, 10:45 on Easter Sunday, April 5. The title of the message will be "Broken Seal," from the scripture, Matthew 27: 62-66.
