Easter at PLC

Ash Wednesday
Ash Wednesday will be celebrated on Wednesday, March 5, at Peace Lutheran at 7 p.m. with Pastor Kevin Nelson

leading the service and with the traditional placement of the symbol of the cross on participants forehead.

The ashes used come from the ashes of a palm tree burned on Palm Sunday of the year before.
 
Each year, Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent and is always 46 days before Easter Sunday. Lent is

a 40-day season (not counting Sundays) marked by repentance, fasting, reflection, and ultimately celebration.

The 40-day period represents Christ’s time of temptation in the wilderness, where he fasted and where Satan

tempted him. Lent asks believers to set aside a time each year for similar fasting, marking an intentional

season of focus on Christ’s life, ministry, sacrifice, and resurrection.
 

Lent Service and Fellowship 
We will again gather every Wednesday evening during Lent to share a Soup and Sandwich fellowship meal prior

to our Wednesday evening Lent Service. We will gather at 5:45 p.m. and start serving at 6 p.m. with the goal of being done serving at 6:45 p.m. The confirmation students will be serving and cleaning up. The Lent service will begin at 7 p.m. (students will be expected to attend). Please SIGN UP to bring a soup and sandwich or whatever you want to bring to share. This year’s dates are: Wednesday evening March 12, 19, 26 and April 2 and 9. Free will offering will be taken.

Give It Up for Lent
Lent is a time to “give something up” as a penance to participate in a small way with Jesus’ suffering on the cross for us. We want to encourage you to give up something that is weighing heavy on your heart or mind.

In the pew card holder, you will find a paper with a cross on it which states to “Offer your prayers to the Lord.”  We want you to write down things that are heavy on your heart or mind and then after church “nail” it on the cross…turn it over to Jesus…give it up…let God take your worries.


Sponsor an Easter Lily's
On Easter morning it is our hope to have the church full of Easter Lily's. If you would like to help fund this project by providing a donation in honor of a loved one, complete this form and fold it with your donation and place in offering plate.


Men's Easter Breakfast
The Men of Peace will prepare and serving Easter Breakfast on Palm Sunday morning, April 13, from 8 to 9 a.m. So roll out of bed and come to church for breakfast and then attend church and round out the morning with the Annual Easter Egg Hunt following church. Lewis Schock is the Chair of that event. Let him know if you are able to help.
