1st Sunday in Lent: The Last Supper

Join us this weekend as we look at the first event in our series on 24 Hours That Changed the World: The Last Supper.  It's amazing the number of times that Jesus is present at a meal, around a table, or in some kind of setting with food in the gospels.  But no meal is more pivotal or meaningful for we who follow him than the Last Supper, which gives us the foundation for the Table of Communion.  This Sunday, we'll look at this incredible event just the night before Jesus was killed on the cross, what it meant for Jesus, the disciples, and for us today.  Hope to see you there!  (10:30 AM)

Ash Wednesday & Lent 2010

Hello, North Street Community!

Today we begin the season of Lent with an Ash Wednesday Service of Commitment at 7:00 PM (there will be no Community Dinner tonight, though there may be something little to munch on after the service).

Read on below for more about what's going on during Lent, and we'll see you soon!

Passion of Christ,
Pastor Jeremy



Lent 2010

Once again, Lent has come upon us.  Each year, we've taken part in various aspects of this season.  This year is no different.

First off, if you're not too sure what this Lent thing is all about, read this article about the Season of Lent.

Next, you want to ask yourself (and your family or roommates) how you want to participate in Lent.  Here are some endeavors that are available through our church community and other traditional practices:
  • Special Gatherings - Join together with the community for these special times of reflection, worship, or commitment:
    • Ash Wednesday Service of Commitment - February 17, 7:00 PM
    • Good Friday Service of Shadows - April 2, 7:00 PM
    • Easter Sunrise Service of Light - April 4, 6:00 AM
  • 24 Hours That Changed the World - We are traveling through this emphasis that looks in depth at the events of Jesus Christ's passion week.  Click here for the various ways to dive into these events this year (Sunday sermons, Wednesday group study, a daily reading devotional book, and a full-length book)
  • Prayer Times - In addition to your own times of prayer, members of our community are invited to join together on Thursdays at 12:20 in the Angell Chapel on the campus of Eastern Nazarene College.  We do this as many of our members are on campus during the day as staff or students.  These prayer times will last about 20 minutes and are guided as well as individual.
  • Fasting & Sacrifice - Lent is often a time when followers of Christ remove something from their lives as an act of sacrifice, identity, or submission.  The possibilities are endless (like fasting from meat, technology, etc.), but see this article for a great introduction to fasting.

24 Hours That Changed The World


During the season of Lent, we are embarking together in a study called 24 Hours That Changed the World.

There are four ways that you can participate at various levels in this throughout Lent:

1.  If you want to dive into the passion story this Lent, come to the worship gathering every Sunday as well as Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.  Each week we will look at a different event in the passion week:
  • Wed, February 17 - Ash Wednesday - Commitment Service
  • Sun, February 21 - The Last Supper
  • Sun, February 28 - The Garden of Gethsemane
  • Sun, March 7 - Condemned by the Righteous
  • Sun, March 14 - Jesus, Barabbas, and Pilate
  • Sun, March 21 - The Torture and Humiliation of the King
  • Sun, March 28 - Palm Sunday - The "Triumphal" Entry
  • Fri, April 2 - Good Friday - Service of Shadows
  • Sun, April 4 - Resurrection Sunday
    • Sunrise Gathering
    • 10:30 Gathering - Christ the Victor
2.  If you want to dive even deeper...come to our Wednesday Evening discussion each week at 7:00 PM (beginning 2/24) to look deeper into each event through a video presentation and discussion.

3.  And if you want to dive even more deeply...read the 24 Hours That Changed the World - Forty Days of Reflection daily devotional book throughout the forty days of Lent.  If you want a copy of this, be sure and let Pastor Jeremy know by 9:00 AM Friday morning (2/12) as he'll be putting in the order then.  A church member is paying for half the cost and shipping, so it'll be $5 if you'd like the book.  They will be in time for the Ash Wednesday service.

4.  And if you want to dive even deeper still, read the actual book: 24 Hours That Changed the World.  We won't be ordering this book for everyone, but you can order it at any major online bookstore.

Stay tuned for more information about the Lenten season...
