Lent is a special time in the church year. It is a time for us to slow down and reflect on our need for a savior-our need for Easter.

We invite you to join us during this time of reflection.

ASH WEDNESDAY Wednesday, February 13

Family Ash Wednesday Service w/ imposition of ashes: @ 8:30am

In conjunction with Trinity Lutheran School’s weekly chapel we mark the beginning of the season of Lent with the imposition of ashes. You can come even if you don’t have kids!

Evening Ash Wednesday Service w/ imposition of ashes @ 7:00pm

We mark the begining of Lent with a traditional Ash Wednesday service with the imposition of ashes. We will focus our worship on Ash Wednesday, and all of Lent, on the sign of Jonah.

MIDWEEK SERVICES Wednesdays during Lent

Family Lenten Services:  8:30am

In conjunction with Trinity Lutheran School’s weekly chapel we will prepare ourselves for Easter. You can come even if you don’t have kids!

Soup Supper and Evening Services: Soup Suppers start at 5:30 in Belvedere Hall. The Lenten Service begins at 7:00pm.

This year we will be preparing ourselves for Easter by focusing on the “Sign of Jonah,”  the sign that Jesus points to that proclaims Him as the Messiah. As a way to build unity between the Norfolk LCMS congregations the three LCMS pastors in Norfolk will rotate through the three churches during Lent. Please join us to hear God’s Word proclaimed and meet the pastors of our daughter congregations.

EASTER EGG HUNT Saturday March 23

Join the family fun in this community tradition. Easter Egg Hunt, fun activities, and a visit from the Easter Bunny make this a memorable family tradition or a fun first time event!

HOLY WEEK

Palm Sunday Sunday March 24 @ 11:00am

Join us for a special single service on Palm Sunday this year. Our three confirmands will be confessing their faith and joining the Church, children from the school and Sunday school will be singing, and we will have a Palm Processional by the children of the congregation!

Maundy Thursday March 28 @ 7:00pm

We enter into Jesus’ passion as we find ourselves at the Last Supper when Jesus gives the command that gives us the joyful promises His body and blood are given to us in the bread and the wine of His supper. But, we end the service with the solemn stripping of the altar as we recognize that through our sins we are the ones that handed Jesus over to be crucified.

Good Friday

Last Words of Christ March 29 @ 8:30am

In conjunction with the Trinity Lutheran School Chapel, we start our day by remembering the suffering of Christ on the cross by hearing his last words proclaimed to us.

Tenebrae Service March 29 @ 7:00pm

The Tenebrae Service is one of progressive darkness. It takes takes us from the genesis of our sinful condition to the darkness, our constant betrayal of God and finally to the helplessness of our  human state exposed on the cross.
