I’ll be brief since I hope to see many of you later this afternoon – and for the next five Wednesdays.
Remember when Wednesdays were sacred? A generation ago (and earlier), schools and government entities (cities, towns) refrained from filling Wednesdays with activities. Wednesday was considered “church night,” a mid-week oasis reserved for youth religious instruction and worship for all.
Today, no days or nights are sacred. Even Sunday mornings are filled with activities, especially for youth.
The next six Wednesdays (beginning today) are opportunities for worship and renewal. What better way to offset the busyness and stress of the day (of life, honestly!) than to de-stress and recharge in the Savior’s house!
Here are the high points:
Make every effort to attend. Your Lenten journey with Jesus is already meaningful and personal. It is even more so when we hear his voice and see his love.
“Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, who is the author of our faith and the one who brings it to its goal. In view of the joy set before him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of God’s throne.” (Hebrews 12:2)
In Christ Jesus,
Pastor Stephen Luchterhand

Here are the high points:
- Midweek Lenten worship (six weeks) begins today (Feb 18th). One service each week at 4 PM.
- Today’s service – Ash Wednesday – offers the opportunity to receive the Sacrament.
- Theme: It Is Finished
- Overview: Explore the prophecies of Zechariah, an enriching look at our Savior Jesus, particularly as these prophecies relate to the events of Jesus’ Holy Week passion, death, and resurrection.
- Six weeks, six different preachers from five area WELS churches. Oh, the variety!
