IMAGINE THAT a friend or family member who is unfamiliar with your Christian faith asks you to summarize the gos­pel.  She isn’t looking for a laundry list of doctrines. She has no interest in hearing you recite the Apostles’ Creed.  She wants to get to the heart of the matter.  “In seven words or less,” she says, “tell me what you believe as a Christian.”  What would you say?  How would you put it?  Are you prepared to confess your faith in Jesus? Christians have the best news in the world to share!  But are we prepared to share it?  During this season of Lent, we’re going to prepare to celebrate Holy Week by sharing why Holy Week is so import­ant.  Our midweek worship services will serve as opportunities to consider the many ways in which the Scriptures proclaim Jesus.  During the week, each of you will be working on your own summary, with the hopes that all of us are more prepared to share the good news of Jesus.  Come and join us this Lent, and join us by crafting your own confession of the gospel!  

Please join us as we journey to the cross during Lent at St. Paul’s. Service on Wednesday evenings at 7:00P.M. from Ash Wednesday through Maundy Thursday.
