    LIVESTREAM OF WEDNESDAY LENT SERVICES


    Our Lent services are on Wednesdays at 6:30pm in the Sanctuary. Stay for treats and drinks after the service and enjoy some Shepherd family time!


    The theme for our Lenten Season is: From Darkness to Dawn. Each message in the Wednesday series focuses on a Biblical character who was spiritually “in the dark.” Some remained in darkness. Others came to see The Light. Come hear their stories during this special season and prepare for the Resurrection of The Light!
