                           Thoughts from Pastor Bob​      ​

                                                                   As we now continue our journey here on earth, we approach the season of Lent.  Ash                                                                      Wednesday is February 18th this year.  There are some misconceptions concerning Ash                                                                      Wednesday and Lent.

                                                                   Are Ash Wednesday and Lent Protestant holidays or strictly Roman Catholic holidays?                                                                     As Christians, we are to follow the teaching of Jesus Christ, our Savior.  We are also to                                                                      follow Scripture as our reference guide.  Scripture refers to a time when Jesus began His                                                                    Ministry by spending 40 days in the desert.  During this period, He was tempted by Satan.

     We too, have been called into the desert to be tempted.  Everyday life consists of desert time and is filled with temptation.  Like Jesus, we need to recall Scripture when confronting Satan.  So, since desert times and temptation are Human experiences, Ash Wednesday and Lent are universal to the Christian.

     Diane Knorr is leading a Bible Study group on Tuesday mornings at 9:30 AM.  They are studying Esther.  Shannon Weber leads our Youth Group.  Their schedule is found in the Upcoming Events.

     Services are at 10:30 AM every Sunday.  Sunday School is at 9:30 AM.  There is a class for every age.  Upcoming events include Sunrise Service at dawn on April 5th.  Good Friday service will be on April 3th at 6:00 PM.  We will be having a Seder Meal (Jewish Passover Meal) on April 2 at 6:00 PM.

     My office hours continue to be Tuesday morning between 9:00 AM and noon.  Other times available upon request.  I can be reached at 785-633-2621 or bcasper3@cox,net.  My prayers are with you and your families as we begin this season of Lent.
