Lent at PLC

Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday will be celebrated on Feb. 18, 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 branches used 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.

Give It Up for Lent
We will have the “Give It Up” slips of paper by the cross again this year. Individuals are encouraged to write a message of a burden you have and “NAIL” it to the cross, giving that burden up to God.

 

Lent Round Robin Services
Peace Lutheran will be participating with First Lutheran of Bismarck, Wing and Almont in Round Robin Preaching during the Lent Season, which means we will have a guest minister every Wednesday evening. Service will be at 7 p.m. We will publish the detailed schedule soon.

We will 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.
