Lent for Everyone – Luke, Year C, A Daily Devotional

The journey of Lent is one we want to do together as a church family. To help with that, we are encouraging NWers to consider joining together with friends, family, or grow group members to incorporate a simple Lenten daily devotional into our daily rhythms during Lent.

The Lenten devotional we are recommending for 2025 is titled Lent for Everyone – Luke, Year C, A Daily Devotional by N. T. Wright. Each day’s entry includes a scripture reading from Luke, a short devotional passage, and a brief prayer. If you do the longer readings, you will read through all of Luke’s Gospel during Lent, which would be a great review of our preaching over the past year!

MAUNDY THURSDAY CANDLELIGHT COMMUNION SERVICE

Thursday, April 17th – 7pm

Join us as we gather to remember the divinely directed events of the day before the crucifixion. Jesus did more than just teach His disciples on this night. He used vivid examples that began with washing His disciples’ feet.

The service will include Scripture Readings, Songs and the Lord’s Table. Come and worship. Prepare your heart for the celebration of Easter by reflecting on Christ’s sacrifice.

Childcare is provided for birth through 2nd grade.

A PRAYERFUL WALK THROUGH GOOD FRIDAY

Wednesday, April 16th (6pm- 8pm)

Friday, April 18th (6pm-8pm)

The glory of a resurrection is only cherished by those who feel the dark weight and finality of death’s sting.  Join with Christ in the hours leading up to his crucifixion as you journey from the early morning in the garden of Gethsemane to Peter’s denials in the outer courtyard to the kangaroo courts of Pilate and Herod and finally, to the sacred cross on Calvary’s hill. This is a self-guided event where you will have time to prayerfully reflect on the eternal and personal significance of each experience in Christ’s path to the cross.

Grow Groups, Bible studies, and families are invited to participate in this child friendly event.

RESURRECTION SUNDAY

Sunday, April 20th, 9am and 10:45am

The empty tomb on that first Easter changed the world forever. Jesus’ miraculous death and resurrection brought us everlasting life.

Activities will be available for children birth – 5th grade during both services and youth ages 6th-12th grade during the 10:45am service.
