LENTEN WORSHIP SERVICE – WEEK 5

 

WARM-UP

Describe a time you felt welcome. What happened that made you feel welcome?

 

READ 1 Peter 4:7-11

The end of all things is near; therefore be serious and discipline yourselves for the sake of your prayers. Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without complaining. Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received. Whoever speaks must do so as one speaking the very words of God; whoever serves must do so with the strength that God supplies, so that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ. To him belong the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.

We believe that we are better together when we worship, pray, study, and serve together. A hope for Easter Lutheran Church is to be a place where all people feel welcome, safe, and loved. As a church, we also know that not everyone feels welcome, safe, or loved here.

 

RESPOND

  1. How have you felt welcome at Easter? 

  2. How have you felt safe at Easter?
