Our worship gathering was spirit-filled yesterday as we reflected in scripture, song, and preaching about the "high places" along the walk that follows Christ. To listen to the spoken word, click here (it's 26.5 minutes long). You can also right-click on the link and choose "save link as" to download it to your computer to listen on your own media player.As a response, the community was challenged to participate in "The 40 Days of Lent". A plan for Lent was handed out that includes daily scripture reading and other daily activities throughout the 4o days of Lent. The daily activities include aspects of fasting, acknowledgement (confession), prayer (corporate & individual), and reflection upon the cross and its sacrifice - both Christ's and ours.
