Together in Christ
Enter Into Lent with First Lutheran
In an act of unparalleled love God shows his ultimate solidarity with the world during Lent by sending his son to stand on the cross and stand with all of us.
As followers of Jesus Christ we are called to carry on this mission and stand with other people in our diverse world today. Our Lenten journey of “Together in Christ” begins on Ash Wednesday and culminates on Easter Sunday, April 17.

Weekly Worship
Each weekend our pastors will preach on scriptures that call
us together as community around these specific areas with the series “Together
in Christ.” The following Wednesday at
12:15 and 6:30 p.m. the pastor will interview a voice in our community based on
the theme from the weekend before.
Voices in City
The
first step of standing with someone is to understand them and the first step to
understanding is listening. So this Lent
we will gather as a congregation on Wednesdays both in person and online to
listen to voices in the city. We’ll hear
directly from teachers and health care workers, police officers and people of
color, and people of diverse backgrounds. What’s life like from their perspective? What challenges do they face?

Online Resources
Whether you are part of a small group, church work team, or an individual looking to grow in faith this Lent, we have you covered! Every week we will post materials you can access on your phone or computer to join in the theme each week. There will be a one-hour version for small groups, a five-minute devotion to start meetings for work teams and an individual devotion at your own speed. Each week will feature links to watch our Sunday sermon, read the weekend scriptures and ask guided questions of each other or yourself. Our new Spiritual Director Deborah Hansen will feature a different “Five Minutes with God” spiritual practice each week. You can find these at here.
