SEASON OF LENT
O Lord, throughout these forty days you prayed and kept the fast;
Inspire repentance for our sin, and free us from our past.
Be with us through this season, Lord, and all our earthly days,
That when the final Easter dawns, we join in heaven’s praise. (ELW 319)
The season of Lent culminates in the liturgy of the Passion of Christ Jesus (Sunday, April 5 and the following days into Holy Week). In the Passion readings, especially from Matthew 26-27, we hear the things that God has desired for us all along: the faithful obedience of the suffering servant, all the way to the cross and tomb. And then on Easter Sunday, April 12, we join the angels and the church in proclaiming the good news for us and our salvation, that Christ is risen from the dead!
[Lent – from Old English “Lencten” or “lengthening of days” as springtime continues to push away darkness and increase daylight hours.

What a blessing it is be a part of a growing young church! In 2019 about ten babies were born to St. Mark's families, and more are on the way in 2020! Our toddlers and young children would love to have your care in the nursery on Sunday mornings. They would love begin building those faithful relationships with you. Ashley Gray is our good and gifted Nursery Attendant but she needs some additional help. Contact Kathy Jo McLean, Sandie Lown, or Pastor Dave, to sign up. *There will be a background check and training to ensure the safety of our children.
